HELP - sparks please advise on new bathroom light fitting

Any sparks out there show me what to do with this muddle of wires? I've tried to show in the attached image how the old rose fitting is wired in the loop.

Don't know what I was expecting to see but the 4th wire (yellow) from the first cable joining the red one threw me. Can someone guide me from here please?

Does it have a two way switch? without knowing which ones have voltage i couldn't be sure, but I'm guessing the ones that are joined are using chocky block? if yeah then the best way would be to just leave it as they are, put the earth into the E terminal and your L and N as they were on the last fitting, i.e blue as your live and black as your neutral.

that should work...

Cheers guys, but which earth should I be joining to the new light fitting? There wasn't one connected to the rose fitting, just the three joining together.

 

The wires that are connected are just twisted together with tape wrapped round.

 

The light is powered from a switch that has two switches, one for this ceiling light and one for a wall light.

All 3 earths can join in the E terminal of your new fitting.

 

Probably....

The midle wire is the supply,

The right wire goes to your wall light

and the left wire goes to your light switch, ( red taking live to the switch and blue and yellow being the 2 switched feeds for the 2 lights)
