We might be at crossed purposes most lamps are plugged into a 13amp socket not a 5amp lighting socket. That's why we are discussing the fuse rating of that 13amp plug.
If you are talking about the 5amp unfused plug that fits the specialised socket then yes it does need to have cable rated for 5amp (or 6 I guess since the cu will very likely have a 6amp breaker).
