one of them will be a switch live -
If you don't need the light fitting, just get some wago connecters or choc connecters and cap it that way -
You've done exactly what I did (probably). I found going away, swearing at the sky, reading about common lighting wiring possibilities and drawing out the potential circuit diagrams helped. Having to go into the bedroom floorboards more times than planned did not.

Also failed miserably to replace a light fitting: The replacement trips the RCD (and lights for the whole house) no matter which combination of wiring I use.
It's got 3 separate light cables coming to it, I followed the wiring diagram but something's clearly wrong. A sparky's coming round in a couple of weeks and i'll get them to do it properly.
I'm worried it'll trip again in the meantime: Is there a way of isolating a single light fitting so it doesn't f-up the rest?
