After doing some more research it seems that 1.5 was common years ago when there was a couple of 500W halogen floodlights tagged on the circuit somewhere for outside lights. So I've learnt today that 1.0mm is sufficient.

It wasn't too bad the connectors are very sturdy

The reason I ask if I can do the above is because I have plently of 1.5 T&E and no 1.0. Just trying to save a some money, obviously if its not advisable or shouldn't do it I will go and buy the 1.0

So it connects back to the MCB on a B6 and is also on the RCD

Am I right in saying its okay, as the 1.0mm incoming cable will only carry x amount and 1.5 can carry more so wont be overloaded and wont cause a fire? I presume I wouldn't be able to do it if it was the other way around. 1.5 coming in and then daisy chain on 1.0

Hi, So I've just started to install some spotlights in a room in my house, and I always thought to use 1.5mm T&E so I've wired them all up and I've come to connect the main line in and noticed that it is 1.0 T&E. Am I okay to link the main line to my daisy chained spots on 1.5. Some more...
