Class II or double insulated - Whichever you want to call it, it doesn't look like it to me.
It's not.providing indeed the wire is double insulated like the wire I have attached in photograph.

the wires on the light were not double insulated
But is it DI?The Wire shown is tested under IEC 60331 for heat resistance and combustion also tested to conform with UL 1097,
But is it DI?
Not sure how it has escaped your attention, but it is the wiring in the lights which is of concern. Knowing that DI single core cables exist, and have standards which apply to them, is of little use when discussing a light which does not use such cable.But that wire is mine not the one in the light
The electrical connections are sealed and the transformers may be classed as class 2 due to the mechanical protection.
Not in Europe it isn't!tested to conform with UL 1097, This is a major requirement for underfloor heating cold leads
To me it looks like it might struggle to pass a 1kV one.Might it have an insulator capable of passing the 3kV test?
Are they obliged to provide them if they do?You could always ask the manufacturer of the lamp for a copy of the CE technical file or 60958 safety report and that should break down how it was evaluated to be safe assuming they exist!
