I did the same about 3 years ago...maybe just the pancake lights I bought, but stuck to the metal inside of the fixture, they generated enough heat to melt the adhesive off the backs and fall into the fixture.


Fortunately I have glass, but if you have plastic, my lights would certainly melt through them.


Looking closely at yours, mine were just replacement bulb LEDs and exposed where yours seem enclosed in a shell.


So for any other do it yourselfers, even the straight replacement bulbs can be tricky...I would suggest sticking (no pun) with the bayonet mount versus the stick on and adapter type bulbs or the wholly contained fixture type posted above.
