Default Clear cable on light fitting?

Installed a ceiling light yesterday
http://www.dunelm.com/product/tilly-...tegoryId=34182

The cable & chain were a good metre long so had to be shortened. The
cable had a transparent outer with three wires also with transparent
insulation. The ends had labels L, N, E but no colour coding at all.

Is this legal?

I've rarely seen low voltage flex colour coded solely by the inclusion of sewing cottom thread in with the copper.
