As part of alterations inside my airing cupboard I need to relocate the light fitting. The existing cable (1.0mm T&E) is laid on the surface of the wall and held by clips. I intend to remove the clips, move the cable, and put it in 16x16mm trunking for neatness.
However, the new route for the cable will take it at right-angles across the existing 2.5mm T&E cable feeding the immersion heater (also surface fitted). The bottom of the new trunking will serve as a physical separator. Are there any other requirements that I need to take into account?
The immersion heater circuit is rarely switched-on, only for odd emergencies. The light will have only intermittent use. It would be very rare for there to be power in both circuits at the same time.
