Does that look about right?

And last question I promise (thanks for your help) I'm guessing the copper wire wrapped around the upper two mains wires will need to have insulating grape around

Ignor the light turned on thing

Whoever did the electrics in this house is an idiot. I've got the power off and the light turned on. They weren't in chocboxes but I've bought gu10 leads with them attached... See picture. They just had loads of insulating tape around

The other issue is I have 2 lives and 2 neutrals running to the existing transformer

The halogen is 12v and the gu10 is 240v

Thanks for the info one last question. Will I need a new transformer for the Gu10 cables or does the transformer just need removing and the mains cables connecting to the GU10 leads

That would be why. It didn't even cross my mind about the transformer. Will that be for each individual fitting or one for a number of fittings

By all means I'm no electrician. I'm changing the spot lights in our house from halogen to LED. I have the GU10 fly leads (converters) but when I take down the old halogen leads and affix the new ones it doesn't work.... What am I doing wrong? It is literally just 2 small black wires L &N coming...
