Default Electronics question (before I kill myself)

Went to buy oen of these today so I could do some garden work in the dark -
idea was that it would stay plugged into the mains while I worked and then
taken off after (never hung up)

Eventually I got one of these:

which is the same but with a plug

The reason I didn;t get the first was that it didn;t have any wiring with it
at all and for soem reason I assumed it would

I did consider buying the wire and plug myself but I don;t have a clue to be
honest, probably would have ended in disaster

Can anyone explain what I would have needed to do? How would I know what
fused plug to get? What wire? It siad it HAD to be earthed yet there was a
lot of non earthed wire being sold

What is eletrical insualtion tape used for?

Anyone know a good beginners guide for all this?
