Hi everyno,I'm trying to fit a new light fitting in the bathroom.

I've sent pictures of the pervious job!

Any ideas which is live & neutral?

One black going to one connector two black to another. Two red together

Thanks, in advance

You would need to do some testing ,got any electrical test instruments?
If I had to take a guess ,the 2 blacks together are neutrals ,and the single black the switched live.
But guessing with electrics isn't wise !!
Isn't there 3 reds together ,not 2 ??
 
The 2 blacks together should be the neutrals, maintain the current format with the 3 reds connected together (possibly in a connector you may have to provide yourself). The black on its own is a switched live and should be identified with a red (or brown) sleeve or tape.

Sorted. You were both correct. Thanks so much.
