Hum..... An led light will almost certainly need an earth...

No there is no earth wire

Are you an electrician?

 

[telectrix]

legally you could use bell wire, but it would not be safe or comply with regulations, same as that in your link. you need 3 core flex, as has been pointed out .

And a minimum of 1.0mm if connected direct to the electrical system.

Where and how are you installing the cable?

Where does the cable come from?

The cable the OP had linked is 'flexible' so 0.75mm is allowed.

Hi - 230V leads need an earth wire as others have mentioned, so 3 wires.

 

[johnduffell]

To be really really precise,! there just needs to be an earth at the termination, so the cable could not be ruled out purely based on the lack of a cpc, as one could be run from elsewhere, or alongside.
Obviously that isn't being suggested by the op, but thought I'd mention!

£9 for 10m of 2 core flex, that's well over priced
