Hi, I have a question, I don't have any experience with electrical stuff but I would like to know if can I connect wall led light like this

without connecting it to the wall cable system, for example keep it fixed on the table etc while it's being plugged into a socket, and in that case I guess I'd need to purchase some other cables and a plug to make that happen. But my main question is whether this is generally even possible and safe or if it is dangerous. Thanks for your replies!
 
a plug top and a length of flex can be fitted.if there is no provision for an earth connection there should be a square within a square symbol indicating that it does not require earthing and if so, a 2 core flex will do.
 
Table lamps are heavy at the bottom to stop them tipping over.
I doubt the wall light has a back to cover the connections and LED driver

Cant see the image of the whole light if that's what you posted.
 
I doubt there is a provision to enclose the conductors or terminals or a means of providing cord restraint.
