Fitting LED flush-fit spot in loft hatch - how?

[thecount]

I'm looking to consider asking my electrician to fit one extra LED flush-fit spot in loft hatch so it matches the rows in the ceiling to a total of 9 (3 rows of 3). He's concerned that it won't be safe and I totally get this, but is there a way to install this with some form of strong, flexible 3-core cabling or technique? Just so when we use the hatch, its not going to cause issues?

It’s certainly an unusual request. A flush fit downlight is going to look odd on the loft hatch.

Can’t you fit one just to one side ?

well when it closes, its 100% flush with the ceiling and is the exact same paint finish with minimal trim. It will line up perfectly with the middle row. Is there any safe way of doing this? They are very very slim these spots, 30mm

Are they mains or do they have a transformer?

Cars manage it in the doors and boot, opening and closing so there is a solution for sure......

My size 11 feet would destroy it the first time I went up the ladder.
Wife is happy though

Two thoughts come to mind.
The back of the light would need protection from kicking it when using the ladder.
The supply cable has to handle the opening/closing. IF your light is low voltage a security system type door loop may be useful. Otherwise substantial flex carefully routed and securely clipped. Maybe in a bit of flexible conduit?

what about some SY armoured cable . Very flexible and easy to work with,

Flex would work fine for the cable, it's not like you constantly open and close the hatch. You would just have to be careful of kicking it, so I would suggest making a protective plate.
