Shed light wiring question / help please

Morning all,

In the UK.

Replacing a light in my shed.

The shed has its own electric supply, with a small consumer unit.
The old light was a strip light wired in the conventional 2 wire way with a switch.

The new light only has a single Live, Neutral, and Earth connection point.

I'll be honest, I'm not certain how to correctly/safely connect it, but I feel sure it can't be rocket science!

Can anyone provide some guidance on this, please?

...another question please...

Can I daisy-chain 2 of these new lights together?

Single switch to light 1 to light 2?

yep, chain the earth, neutral and [switched] live to the next units earth, neutral and live.
& technically the slave units are in parallel!
