I am hooking up 24v low voltage led lighting for accent niches in a commercial building. I have a pvc run in the concrete deck , feeding a niche , with the transformer mounted in the electrical closet. Can I run a belding cable in the pipe? I would like to feed three niches off 1 cable. each niche is 70 watts, with 250 watt trasnsformer.

Take a look at Article 411 for lighting systems operating at 30 volts or less.

Is the Beldin cable a listed cable with the lighting system?
If the Beldin cable is a Class 2 or 3 cable then 411.5(D)(1) would be more applicable.

Keep in mind when sizing the cable that the load is close to 9 amps also.

If you lighting system is not all mfg required parts, then it falls outside of the scope of Art 411. And if you fall outside of the Class 2 or Class 3 power limits in Art 725, then you have to wire with a Chapter 3 wiring method. "Belden", depending on the type, may not be allowed, but a PLTC or TC would be. Watch your conduit fill.
Just because its low voltage LED does not mean it can not cause a fire. Take a look at the titles of Art 411, 725 and 720 which are "low voltage" articles....
