It's been used like the plastic oval stuff - straight runs in plaster. No corners.

Experimentation in the garage says 2x1.5mm T+E just about fits, and a single three core is easy - provided that the cut end is reamed out properly.


That sounds about right as 2 x 2.5mm T&E just fits down 20mm conduit.

I would be temped to silicon both ends up after installing the cable.

I would also megger all cores against the copper after each pull before
connecting them up to anything else.

So are you going for a junction box setup or looping at the light fittings?
