I have a 2 led spotlight bar left over that i would like to stick some flex and a plug on instead of wiring into the lighting circuit. The bulbs are 5.5w each.

Am I ok using some 3 core 0.75 flex and a 3 amp plug that I already have or should I be putting a 5 amp fuse in the plug with that cable?

Cheers

Will the connections at the light fitting be accessible without a tool or key? will they be enclosed in other words?
 
You need to consider safe cable entry and strain relief as well. The fitting is probably designed to be permanently fixed to a solid surface so probably won't provide this.

Any photos?
