I want to connect a supply to some LED cabinet lights in the kitchen. It means running a cable about 5m along a wall and through an internal wall. I have some lighting flex. Can I use this? I will be picking up the supply from a 5A connecting block on the lighting cct hidden in the under-stairs cupboard. Thanks.
Lighting flex use.

Depends what you mean by “lighting flex”. Do you mean a flat, twin&earth type cable ? Or a round flex ? Are there any markings on it to show what type of cable it is and what size / CSA ? Because it’s LED, you have some flexibility, however the cable still needs to be suitable.
round flex 0.75mm as used for hanging lamps I guess.

Screwfix Select
But that only has 2-cores. You need 3-core flex. Minimum 0.75mm for lighting wiring.
