Hi Simon
The halogen gear packs should plug into a tethered 240V socket in the
ceiling in the close vicinity of the light fitting. There is a standard
240V Australian plug lead on the gear pack (switch-mode supply) and all
components usually fit thru the hole cut-out in the ceiling for the
light fitting.
Switch off the lighting circuit (at switchboard), Check that circuit is
really off with other lights on same circuit (if unsure turn off the
main switch in switchboard) and use a torch inside.
Pull out the light fitting - (Manipulate spring that holds it in on top
side to fold up), continue to pull 12V wiring till you find the gear
pack, pull it thru the hole and then pull the 240V cord leading from it
carefully to drag the tethered plug/socket to the hole, Unplug and then
once you have the replacement ready to go follow the reverse procedure
to re-install.
Bunnings sell the gear packs/led supplies.
