Thanks for the replies,
done some calculations for voltdrop and with the 1.8 multiplier and its bringing the volt drop too high also due to the long cable runs through 2way switching etc.
Tried upgrading the cable to 2.5mm² but its still too close with the voltdrop of the submain cable. Think i will have to split the lights up onto separate mcb's controlling 3 lights each to reduce the load thus reducing voltdrop. Has anyone ever experienced the same problems? I suppose i could contact the manufacturer and get an exact figure for the current on starting.
