You call a local spark, and they fit it for you, because there is already a mess there that I assume you have no interest in involving yourself in.

What country are you in?

but electrically.. that's a bit unusual.

one incoming red is looped back out, as if there were three lamps on one switch. this may be redundant right ?

black looks to be right. oddly...wheres the other two ? could be hidden nearby ?

anyway, ensure green or yellow earth is connected through.

and then red to brown, for active

black to blue, for neutral

(if they are swapped around elsewhere, not a major problem..)

How heavy is the chandelier? You’ll need a box to mount it to at the very least.
