Hi all, Does anybody know how you would open the below? Today it has started to leak reasonably seriously, but it seems to be intermittent, a mixture of fiddling with it, turning it on and off (from here and the mains) seems to get it to stop and start again, not entirely sure where the water...

Hi, I have some kitchen plinth lighting that I installed about 3 years ago The lights are round sealed units, drill a hole in the plinth, push them through and connect them up to the junction box supplied (they just plug in) ... I'm sure you know the ones? Anyway each light has 3 LEDs...
