would this be acceptable
we have a shelf above the bath 1400mm high
wife would like a standard lamp on there
would putting a 12 led driver in the loft to supply the lamp be a ok
lamp would be secured to the shelf
I have a table lamp fitted with 2 core 0.75mm flex.
I wish to extend the length of the cable but only have 2 core 1.5mm flex to hand.

I’m a DIY’er. Or at least, if I have an electrical problem, I like to fix it myself. I couldn’t find an answer to my question after googling around a bit, and no electrician would give me an answer, so I thought I would try your forum. An answer would be greatly appreciated.
