    Does cable manufacturer matter

    As long as it is BASEC then it is fit for purpose. I like Doncaster Cable (but not Donny) Prysimian is also good but there flimsey boxes fall apart.

    Installing security light

    I assume you mean from the walls? Alot of this is down to personal preference and is restricted by the ceiling joists. You need to ensure you light work surfaces and over the sink as well as floor area. What are the dimensions of your ceiling?
