Hi I have bought a vTAC floodlight and need help wiring it to a 3 pin plug, I can't dismantle it and add wiring to it so I need to extend to the existing wire, could someone help what sort of flex wire I would need what cable connector and what sort of 3 pin plug amps? Thank you so much I would provide a picture but don't know where to add it
 
A Whiska box screwed to the wall next to the floodlight. Connect the incoming cable to the flex of the lamp with Wago connectors or similar. Ensure the connectors are suitable for use with flex. Use compression glands screwed into the Whiska box.
 
Hi really sorry I didn't mention it's for indoors not outdoors it's for a fish tank so I need a 3 pin plug and extra cable

Ah right. Yes, there are suitable connectors for joining flex. Do you need to be able to disconnect it, ie a plug and socket, or just a joining connector?
 
Inline cable joint;

Or cheaper;

 
was the 0.7 you measured the diameter of the cable? The 0.75 as in "size of a cable" is in mm SQUARED... the cross sectional area of the conductors... not the width of the flex
