No, it has three blacks; two connected to brown and one connected to blue.

The brown and blue are the wrong way round.

So:

and label the wire that now connects to the blue drop cable as that is the switched live and not a neutral

The original rose had an error which is likely why you got it wrong. Also should have been a red or brown sleeve on the line from switch. I personally find trying to wire up a ceiling rose while holding the weight of the lamp hard. I used these ceiling roses so I could wire lamp on the floor then lift up ready wired, it seems this make now discontinued but there are other makes.

The ceiling rose has a duel job in the UK, it acts as a junction box, and holds the lamp up. It means we have un-switched line at the rose handy for emergency lights and ceiling fans, but often as a result no neutral at the switch, so using smart switches is limited to a few makes not needing a neutral at the switch.

Then, if everything worked before, you have done something wrong.

That means you haven’t followed the guidance properly. Post a photo of what you’ve done. We like photos!

Dear experts, I gave this install another go today. The new lihgt turned on fine. But the other ceiling lights (in other two rooms are not turning on now). Please note the other tow rooms still have the ceiling rose with this setting (attached photo). Do I need to change the ceiling rose with another modern lights? It seems the blue and brown are plugged wrong.

That photo is the same one you posted 8 months ago.

If it worked before and now it doesn't you have wired the new light incorrectly.
Pictures of the NEW light wiring are required - old ones are unrelated.

You’ve probably mixed up thd blacks in thd light that you have done. Do you have a two probe voltage tester?

You decided to give it another go after eight months?
