The decorative L.E.D. ceiling lights were supplied by the customer and the box rates them at 220 Volts. I queried this with the customer but was still asked to fit them. Their flat is in a new build so the supply Voltage may be high.

Perhaps, as I had a similar problem to this with some dimmable Osram/ LEDvance LED filament lamps - actually they would run, but only for about 15 mins, then start to flicker and got very hot at the base with the electronics - which said thermal overload to me. As they were mine at home a bit of experimenting was in order, and I found they will stay on either with a conical sheet aluminium heatsink clamped to the outer of the B22 base, looking rather like those collars that vets give to poorly dogs to turn them into a megaphone, or more practically with couple of hundred ohms in series (suiatable rated - no miniature parts on mains please !) to dump 20volts or so, which I have hidden in the base of the fitting. So far several thousand hours later, with the resistor mod, running cool and still going strong. Whe one fails I will crack it open and see what is within, but being tight fisted I do not want to do that to a working one.
Neither of those ideas would be a good solution for customer equipment, but it does suggest that at least one reputable make does not run long term tests over the full 207-253 volts that they really should for CE marking . Perhaps other makers also do not.
