fitting a light in the cupboard

hi quick question, i planning on fitting a light in our understairs cupboard t really wont be used that much. i was planning on using two core cable 0.75mm from a plug into a inline switch and then in to an angled light bulb holder.

can i use two core or should i be using 3 core cable, 1mm. the light fitting is plastic so assumed it wouldnt need to be earthed.

thanks
