Can you wire a 12v transfomer into a lighting circuit?

Just a quick question, i'm intrested in installing LCD deck lights for
my decking and they come with a 12v pack transformer etc and Junction
box.
Now can this be wired into the lighting circuit i already have on my
deck or will it need to be plugged in as pretty sure the picture i
seen had a plug on the end.
this is some info they had on their website.
Each Pack contains the following:
2 x LED Fittings, each fitting is pre-wired with 5M Cable
1 x 12V Plug In Transformer prewired with 15M Cable
1 x 4 Way Junction Box - IP44
I know about Part P but just trying to work out options, as dont have
socket mains on the decking.
Thank You
Could i get around the plug in method by changing the transfromer etc,
any ideas be great
You can almost certainly connect it to a lighting circuit as long as the
circuit has some spare capacity. The one vital missing bit of information is
how much mains current does the transformer draw. [Or how many watts of
power does it use, if this is easier to find?]
