Default Garden spotlight.

Neighbour asked me if I could extend the lead to a garden spotlight he'd
bought. Couldn't remember where from.

Brought it round to today after having measured how long a lead he wanted.
Sounds simple enough. Except...

It looks quite well made. Diecast metal body with SS allen head screws.

3 LEDs - so not the more usual GU10 or MR16.

And no markings whatsoever on the body or anything on the plain cardboard
box. And no instruction leaflet, according to the neighbour.

Flex from it is 3 core - so assume it is mains? The flex is actually just
over 6 inches long.

Is it legal to retail something like this with no markings on it - like
voltage etc - and perhaps a CE or whatever label?
