FCU from Electrical Socket for Lights
 Reply with quote Thanks
I am trying to add a couple of 40W halogen downlighters via a 13amp FCU fed from a nearby electrical socket. I have 1.5mm twin and earth cable for the lights themselves but do I need to use 2.5mm from the electric socket to the FCU or 1.5mm for both?
