Default screwfix lap lighting

Sorry to hijack this forum but I installed a set of 10 LAP LED deck lights a
couple of years ago and they have now failed. The lamps are OK and work
individually when each in turn is connected to the transformer but none of
them work when connected via the 10-way junction box, so I guess it must be a
problem in the junction box. Anyone know where I can buy a new junction box?
If I can get one what spec of cable should I use from the transformer to the
junction box - it is running 10 x 0.05W lamps?


Does the junction box do anything apart from joining? Switch, dimmer
or anything? Has it got a fuse in it? If it has any circuitry in it
that is broken it could perhaps be easily converted into a passive
junction box. The other possibility is that the transformer will no
longer produce enough power for ten lights, but that would be an unusual
(and fairly easily testable) mode of failure. Are they really 50mW
lights, that seems a bit low?
