I'm in the process of replacing a ceiling batten light with an LED tube light, and things are not as straightforward as I'd predicted (to me anyway).

There's a simple setup of a switch and the light, however the switch cable hasn't been sleeved or marked, and I don't have a meter tool.

Here's what the wiring was like on the original light:



and here's where I currently am - just the two joined reds connected.



The wiring block on the new light is Live, Earth, Neutral.
How would I go about identifying the switched live black wire? Presumably that would also connect to L, and the other black to N?

Thanks in advance for help.

Yes, but one black is the switched live (from the light switch). I don't know which.

Yes, I'll be sorting that out too!
