How were they connected before? Were the red wires joined together and to nothing else?

(ignore the cable marked supply to next light)

thanks for response diagram helped a lot just confused about which is the switch cable as whoever installed didnt put tape around to identify

If you have a bog standard switch it should be easy enough to check out with a multimeter set to ohms range. Connect the meter across 1 set of red/black wires whilst someone operates the switch, you should see it go from high resistance to almost zero resistance. If not, try the other cable. Whichever one does this is the switch wire. Sleeve the black wire red to signify this.
