I've not rewired - just pulled out the downlights, snipped off the transformers & connectors, and wired in the new connectors
(NB - the downlighters I have a connector box attached - otherwise you should be connecting the wires withing a choc-box)
(I'm pretty sure none of this is notifiable, whereas rewiring would be)
NotThamesWater-
Rewiring wouldn't necessarily be notifiable. Adding a circuit is but repurposing an existing one is not included, admittedly large changes to a circuit come very close to being a new circuit but as the rules stand you should be fine. Rewiring does still require you to check the new circuit properly and that involves proper electricians tools and the knowledge to use them.

Ideally I'd like to not rewire the whole kitchen or have to do much at all. Got enough unfinished jobs around the house without starting on a new one! We don't have a problem with the type of bulbs or the light warmth etc, just that they keep blowing.
