Hi,
I am planning on adding a couple of extra lights to an existing 1.5mm radial light circuit. in my enthusiasm I bought some 1.5mm twin and earth and some junction boxes and was quite happy.
But, I bought a 1 mm heat resistant 3 core cable to run form the junction boxes to the light fittings.
I suddenly wondered if I'm required by regs to use 1.5 mm flexible cable?
Then all sorts of doubts crept in !
1) one of my new lights is a downlighter so my plan was to feed the flexible cable throught the wall behind the light, the lighting circuit runs behind this wall anyhow in a ceiling void of an adjacent room.
2) The other lights were 2 led spots in the ceiling , again I was going to use the flexible cable to run from the junction box to the fitting.
Am I right to use flexible cable for this and is 1 mm ok ....?
Many thanks in advance !
