hi there, just a question regarding wiring of new light to existing ceiling rose.

im a novice at this so any advice needs to be simple.
i have two light fixtures on my landing with one switch on the wall. i turned of power to the landing lights and disconnected old light. the wires in the ceiling were as follows;
2 x red wires
2x yellow green
2x black wires.

i connected all wires up to new light using the "block" provided. ie; 2x red into brown, 2x black into blue and 2 x yellow/green into earth. i turned power on and light came on fine. unfortunatley the second light now doesnt work and seemingly has no power.
any help would be much appreciated.

If you have connected the wires as they were before check that the end of one of them has not snapped.
