Default Replacing a faulty MR16 downlighter

Hi

A MR16 12V halogen downlight has failed in a kitchen of my relative. Checks with a meter suggest that the associated transformer has failed. The transformer is dedicated to that light fitting and the transformer/light fitting was manufactured by JCC.

I am undecided whether to replace it with a similar unit or to do away with the transformer completely and fit a 240V led GU10 unit. I have two questions:

1) Which course of action would you recommend?

2) Am I allowed to do this by Part P, given that I am not a qualified electrician? And am I correct in thinking this work is non-notifiable?

Thanks

David
