[attachment=1]Old Fitting.JPG[/attachment][attachment=1]Old Fitting.JPG[/attachment]

I recently bought 2 new light fittings. The first installation was easy as it was like for like L-L, N-N, E-E fitting. However, the second fitting was not so straightforward and I need help!

The new light has no more than L, N and E wires with a fitted connecting block in a metal housing. But the old light has 2 cables with 3 red wires, 1 'yellow' wire, 1 earth, 2 black and one blue wire. To clarify my explanation, I have attached photos of the old and new fittings.

I have tried once to connect this up and failed. Before I resort to calling an electrician, can anyone please help me with the facts about how I should connect up my new fitting?
