    With a cross-section of 2.5mm2, the voltage drop should not exceed 1VDC.
    PS. A light bulb and an LED are two different things.

    I have MR16 12V 3200K SMD 2835 12V AC / DC bulbs. So a 2.5mm2 cable should be enough?

    Theoretically yes. Practically, ask the manufacturer whether such a voltage drop will not affect the proper operation of this LED source.
    If you want to be sure everything will be ok, you can use 6mm2 :D !!

    That's better 2.5 mm2 in the loop.

    I don't see the possibility of using a loop here.
