    New light will not turn off
    I have replaced a pendant light in a bedroom with a 4 spotlight set the wiring was
    3 red -live
    2 black neutral
    Single black with red sleeve terminated on its own with no wires coming from the terminus
    Earth

    I have connected the wires as follows

    3 red to the live to light
    2 black to the neutral to light
    Earth to earth
    And terminated the single black/red to a spare in the terminal block

    Turned on the breaker , light came on, but will not turn off should the single black be connected in the new light?
