I've just installed my first LED driver and bulb in place of a halogen
downlight, I did this as a test. The LED functions 100% without
flicker. Only another 24 to go!
However, the LED driver didn't come with any wires attached, so I
re-used the heat-resistant cables off the old halogen bulb's
transformer. (I used bog-standard blue and neutral cables to connect
the 240V input to the brown junction box.)
Whenever I've had to purchase a new halogen transformer in the past,
it's always come wired up already. So what is the correct name of this
heat-resistant cable so that I can search for it?
Thanks.
By the way, the LED driver is this one:

If I instead chose the following, it comes with wires, but costs
around £2.50 mo

Multiplied by 24, that £2.50 saving per bulb is significant.

So just cut the old transformer cables close to the transformer and
reuse them.
Personally I would just do away with the transformer and driver and wire
GU10 fly leads straight into the junction box and use GU10 LEDs.
