>looks like power

you cant go by looks.
you need to test with a voltmeter, or a non-contact tester, or a light bulb, or by touching wires to your tongue.
in any case, it does appear you have both live and neutral present so you can add an extension.
but if you're gonna use cheap extension cord, at least add a 2A fuse in series with the black wire.
also, the presence of a red wire could mean you have 240V available, so you need to be careful not to connect your lamp across 240V. a cheap multimeter will help.
