Any ideas on what is causing this and what I need to check ?
TIA,

Classic DIY error
SWITCH OFF AT MAINS
2 blacks to neutral. 3 reds on a separate connector [theses are; live in
, live out and live to the wall switch.] remaining red to the L
connector on the fitting.
That would require 5 lives
live in
live out
live supply to switch
live return from switch
live to lights
The OP said he only had 4.
As a guess this is a spur connection rather than the lights being on a
ring.
Trial and rror unless you have a tester
/ meter I'm afraid.
The OP is lucky that the wires to the switch were BOTH red!
