generally best to avoid mixing cable sizes on a circuit
Most houses you can get away with 1mm for the lights, but if you have got long runs, or want 10A circuits because of lots of spots, then 1.5 starts to be used
Both carry over the 6A which is normal max on lighting so really it does not matter which you select for lighting. Should be same size throughout what ever size you use.
