Personally I would do it in Hi-tuf. More rugged than flex without resorting to the costs of SWA.

What about H07 (TRS) 0.75mm rated at 6A, under

I assume this is 12 volt, so 2.5 mtrs should be OK in 1.00 mm , seperate run to each light . Use Rubber or PVC flex .

Do You think this would be enough ?

You are saying 0.75mm . I'm guessing they are 50 watt lamps . At 12 v the current is 4.1 amps, so the volt drop would be 0.57 amps @ 2.5 metres of 0.75 flex so is OK .

Don't forget that 12 volt lighting suffers from high volt drops.

Yes I know about voltage drop. Thank You for a precision answer!
