Provided it is low voltage you could put yuor finger close by to see if it gets hpt, very unlikley too with LEDs.
Just bog-standard blue or brown cables ripped from a PC power cable,
then?
Heat restistant sleeving is sometimes called silicone sleeving we use it on our soldering irons in case the students rest the iron on the cable.
Yes almost any colours should do but best to stick to something like blue or brown or red black .
For future refernce this is the sort of sleeving that is heat resistant.

Supplementary question:
Is there any use for the old halogen 12V transformers? For example, as
a power supply for Maplin electronic kits/modules?
I'm not really familar with those sorts of transformers I;d think you could rectify them and smooth them maybe even regualte them by buying aditional parts
but I wouldnt persoanlly bother, when you can buy ready made PSUs quite easily and cheaply.
