Default Replacing a ceiling light

Hi all

Sorry to sound such a div, but I've got a simple wiring problem. I'm
replacing a ceiling light. There are 2 cables coming out of the
ceiling, that originally went into a ceiling rose terminal block (I
didn't make a not of how this was wired!). One cable has four wires
(red, blue, yellow, and one "naked"). The other cable has red L,
black
N and green/yellow E.


I'm very confused.

What country are you in?

What do L, N, and E mean, in "red L, black N and green/yellow E."

BTW, what's a div?

How do I connect these to the new light fittings, which has just 2
Live and Neutral connectors?


Any help much appreciated.


Thanks


Paul
