Is there an obvious reason why I can't just fit a plug onto my LED soffit downlights, fitted with a 5amp fuse and plug it into a socket rather than install a 5amp fsu? I'm fine with the plug being permanently plugged in as the socket gets no use anyhow. TIA
 
None at all.

Good to know saves a bit of chasing and knocking back boxes out for now 😊😉. Was panning on using average 1mm2 T&E for cabling, will this be fine for connecting directly to a plug?
 
No you need a flexible cable 0.75 will be a suitable size.

What is the overall length between the plug and the last light.
 
Should be fine.
 
Do the lights require two or three core cable.
