Spot lights problem

    I have 10 downlights in my kitchen. (i call them spots but they're flush to the ceiling)

    Today they went out randomly. I turned them off and back on but within a few seconds they all went off again, and this happened every time I tried them.

    I left them off for 10 mins and when i turned them on they stayed on maybe 30 seconds before going out.

    They're not tripping a switch. Would it be a needle in a haystack for an electrician to fix? Would i be right to guess the problem is likely with just 1 of them?

    I only got them fitted when i got the place rewired 18 months ago. The roof is flat (kingspan and metal) but no sign of problems.

    No it'll be straightforward once all the joints are accessible like they should be
