How to replace LED downlights?

Hi guys, can anyone tell me if LED downlights are hardwired into the roof electrics, or do they come with a plug to connect to a socket? I ask because, looking through Bunnings downlighting on-line, I noticed an Arlec with a plug on the end. The downlight in my bathroom seems to have failed - it began flickering; now it's just got a pale glow. It's a 'Jin Hang' downlight. Never having encountered this sort of downlight before, I thought perhaps it would have a removable bulb; so I freed it from the ceiling hole. It came away with its cable that disappeared up past what looked like a tube of fire retardant; so I couldn't see what it was connected to. Fortunately, the manhole is close to that light, so I may be able to see for myself. Just thought I'd ask the experts first. Thank you.
