I generally leave all electrics to electricians but I thought I'd see if I can fix this current (LOL) problem myself...and with your help obv. I have a sequence of kitchen cabinet lights under a glass, floor-level window sill which looks great but after 25 years has failed. There were three small connected lamps that sat under the glass in a recess that emerged at the wall to a transformer and this plugged into the wall. Returning to the kitchen section of my Wickes I bought three of these in a set Culina Ellen 1.5W CCT LED Round Cabinet Light | Wickes.co.uk - https://www.wickes.co.uk/Culina-Ellen-1-5W-CCT-LED-Round-Cabinet-Light/p/236873 (and with the advice of the Wickes kid) chosen because they didn't need the stupid google / Alexa voice app to work. I now realise they are intended to be wired into a mains loop. My question is: do I have the option to create a plug-in, looped set up with the three LED lamps I have? OR if not, what do I need to be buying to replace my previous set up? Assume nearly no electrical knowledge but with a keen desire not to have to go back to Wickes for a third time (I previously bought the google lamps, which also didn't work) and with high safety protocols :O) Thanks
 
We need to see pics of the wiring connections to these fittings to advise further. Ideally they will have good strain reliefs and be suitable for two flexible cables each.
