What you have in your hand is a switch line. It's just a live cable that will connect to a 3 plate arrangement near one of the spots. So no neutral. You are going to need a neutral and live so you'll need to take a feed off your lighting loop. You can then use the switched live out at the 3 plate to switch them on and off. You might need the earth at the wall lights too.
Google 3 plate wiring. Your setup might not be wired to a physical 3 plate but will likely have the same connections.

I want to add 2 wall mounted Flos Mini Glo-Ball wall lights on either side of a mirror above our sink.
Is it possible to wire them directly from this pull cord light switch as I think I can get a cable from there to where I want the lights?
We had a bathroom extractor fitted a few years back which involved holes in the ceiling so I asked the builder to run a cable to the general area, just in case I wanted to do this in the future. A calamitous attempt yesterday to find the cable yesterday failed, although I did find a crap load of rubble that came out of a tiny hole and the sink unit came off the wall for good measure.
The switch controls 3 x GU10 spots and the extractor. The extractor has a separate isolator outside the bathroom.
