lighting with 2.5mm wire

[Dingowacker]

Hi, Is there any problem in wiring a lighting curcuit in 2.5mm twin and earth?

Thanks

it doesnt fit

 

[Dingowacker]

oh , are the holes in the fitting to small?

Possibly, unless you have industrial equipment 2.5mm will be awkward to work with and terminate.

Why would you want to?

I could guess

Surplus stock?

Surplus stock?

I think perhaps he is cobbling together a lighting arrangement in his loft for the cultivation of a certain crop.

And he needs more than 3.8kW of CFLs?

 

[conny]

Maybe its just 'pot luck' that he has this cable?

Who mentioned CFLs?

Metal Halide perhaps.

Or LEDs.

I wonder how bright 3.8kW of MH or LED lighting would be in a loft?

Like the chap I found with 1kW of lighting in his loft.

His complaint? "The fuse pops when I switch on the bedroom light..."

Funnily enough, the loft lighting was wired to L1 of the bedroom switch...

Or LEDs.

No good for cultivation
