Just a quick one as I can't find this in the Wiki...
My sparkie has left me with 1.5mm cable for rewiring my lighting. (running into new conduit I am channelling into the wall) However we will also be replacing the wiring going to some existing switches, and as the conduit is congested I was wondering whether I can use 1.0mm cable as sold in B&Q rather than the 1.5mm stuff my sparkie had lying around spare. Is 1.5mm overkill? 4 bulbs upstairs on one feed, and 4 bulbs downstairs on another feed.
Thanks
