Fitting Three-Branch Light

[Wellard]

I have just got a new three-branch ceiling light as a replacement for a very similar one. However, whereas the old one had just two wire to connect (plus earth) the new one has six - i.e. one live and one neutral for each bulb. The ceiling fitting has a total of eight holes, six of which are used for the incoming wires. Leaving a hole at each end which had been used for the old connection.

Do I take it that the three live wires are to be twisted together and go in one hole and likewise the neutral?

there are probably ways of making it more tidy but basically yes.

Many thanks for a sensible concise answer
