Not sure about that one didnt have the other rooms on while trying dining room will do that on monday this is doing my head in niceic said i quote ( your circuit of led lamps are too big ) in total there are 23 on this circuit ive seen more then this and there worked fine with the same lamps but i will beat this one way lol
 
Easy to test the switch. Bypass the switch with a wire short and then power up the circuit.
Its possible the current draw of the lights is so low the awitch isnt engaging correctly.
But my guess is its more complex than that and its an interference being generated by the lamps.
You could try plugging them in while the circuits live. One light at a time. You may find you can get them all on ok. In which case its them all trying to start at the same time. The last light may need a resostive load to calm things down.

So it must be the electronics that drops the 230v to ELV in the lamp that is causing the supply to ripple. Its lije a mini startup surge. That is fed back down the supply feed and causes the other lights to switch off then back on and that just oscillates.
Look at this web page.

Not quite the same but the solution looks right.

You have tried the lamps in another location and they are OK.
Therefore there is a problem with the wiring for the dining room light circuit.
Check and reterminate all the connections from when it leaves the previous room and change or by pass any switching and this should allow you to identify the problem.
It is possible that a continuity test from last point of supply to end of dining room lights may show a high resistance on line or neutral and allow you to identify the problem more quickly.
 
Between Richard's mine and others posts it could only be the wiring or lamps at fault but it would be nice if poster's came back and said what the problem(s) were found. It would be nice to know advice given had been helpful.
