Tenderloin-
If your light doesn't require an earth connection (class 2) and your plug has a fuse matched to the maximum loading of the cable (3 or 5 amps) then your house will probably not burn down.
Rive can probably tell whether it's 3 or 5 amp max for that cable.

If the lamp doesn't state class then it may have the double-insulated symbol. I can't imagine you're likely to pull much current through a bed side lamp. 60w max = 0.25a.

Sorry been away.
It would not be my personal preference to use it for a frequently handled plug in application
It would be acceptable for a generally out of reach low frequency of handling application, such as between a ceiling rose and lamp holder
Must only be used in double insulated (class 2) applications

the cable linked to is not suitable for:
fixed wiring inside containment
fixed wiring buried
non-double insulated (class2) appliances
it is suitable for:
low current final connections to appliances where some movement is expected (e.g. lamp pendants), that are double insulated (class2)
