Hi!
I have a led strip (12V) with an external cable (2*1mm) glued on the wall and it's not fancy at all..
Inside the wall I have 3*1,5mm cable with 220V
Can I put both cables together inside the wall?

Thanks
 
Mixed voltages in the same containment are allowed providing all the different insulation ratings are higher than the highest voltage carried by any cable.
 
Sorry just seen that you are in greece.
I have no idea what is allowed over there so please disregard my earlier post.
 
Without knowing the Greek electrical regulations, the suggestion by @James that follows the UK regulations is good general advice.
ΟΚ
So, this is my 12V cable,

And there are 3 pieces of that cable (220V) inside the wall,

What do you think?

Thanks
 
So, this is my 12V cable,
It looks like normal 230V rated cable. Sometimes there are type and rating info embossed in to the cable every metre or so, but not always easy to find (especially on short lengths where it might be missing)
And there are 3 pieces of that cable (220V) inside the wall,
Looks like typical single conductor wire as used in the UK in trunking or conduit.

Simple based on the images it looks fine, but take care that any joints, connectors, or similar are also adequately rated to max voltage.

Thank you!
My 220V cables have one connection with wire caps.
I'll tape that connection with 3M Vinyl Electrical Tape or similar for insulation reinforcement
