I'll soon be building a music rehearsal room in my garage, and wanted to know a few things about SWA.
I've read on here that 2.5mm is suitable for garage use, but as I'll be running a couple of guitar amps, a PC and lighting, will I need more? Will 4mm or even 6mm be more appropriate?
I've already got a 2 way consumer unit with rcd, and with a 32a and 6a MCB's. Will this be suitable for my requirements? and will using 12v downlights give me more 'headroom' for my power requirements, or will it use the same power as 'normal' lighting?
Hope someone can advise me on what to add to my 'shopping list'
cheers
