1mm is the common one for lighting circuits. You could use 1.5mm if you
already have it. 2.5mm could be too big to fit connectors, etc.


Depending on cable routing you may need 5Amp rather than 10Amp circuit
breakers if you are using 1sqmm cable.


Surely 5 amp is the common one for lighting circuits? Unless stupid enough
to have only one in a house?
