Happy belated Xmas everyone. Need a little help with faulty kitchen light….does not fully light up and have taken the cover to see if I can replace the lighting strip but have never done this before and need a little help. Would I need the motor element aswell? Where best to source it from?

Interesting light! Is this a commercially made fitting, or a DIY conversion of an existing fluorescent fitting?
Not sure mate…housing association changed when they did the kitchen refurb a few years back.

It is a commercially made fitting from a reputable manufacturer, but I'm sure it's based on the major parts of an earlier flourescent design.
Driver is almost certainly OK, and it could be repaired down to the level of replacing the individual failed LEDs, if you could identify and source them, but these fittings are so cheap that it's not worth the effort.

Looking at pic of driver, is that brown mark a shadow or a sign of overheating?
Replacing the entire fitting is cheapest fix. 10 minutes and a cup of tea….. but as noted, should be your landlords responsibility.
