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.

live return from switch and
live to lights
are the same thing, so 4 red wires would indeed be correct.


As a guess this is a spur connection rather than the lights being on a
ring.

Lights are supplied by radial circuits not rings

I would have expected there to be one red/red twin and earth and two red
black twin and earth cables. The red/red being the one that goes to the
switch.
