    Is this cable cord suitable?

    Hello, I am an expat living in Estonia. My wife bought this picture light box from a second hand shop. It seems hand made when I took it apart. Looking at the cable and how thin the wiring is, is this okay plugged in to 230v? It seems a very thin cable to me to be carrying 230v.
