I'm starting to plan my rewire, and am thinking about my lighting circuits.
I will have upstairs and a downstairs circuits (+ garage and external), each protected by RCB and 6A MCBs. (3 bed house).
Please take LABC notification as read.
Now she-who-must-be-obeyed likes her lighting, well.., solar, so I was going to use 1.5mm2 T & E for both circuits to provide above-ample capacity.
Nothing controversial so far I hope, but would it be acceptable to use 1mm2 cable for switched lines to each luminaire? Not only would this help reduce crowding when looping in/out at the switches, but it would also conveniently help distinguish between the loop and switched cable runs.
