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.

to avoid chafing at the ends?


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

Good plan.

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

Unless I want to chase out some more - and I really don't if I don't have to (and SWMBO *really* doesn't)- then aren't I tied to JBs (maintenance free, obvs)? For the first floor lights I'll try to put them outside the floor area of the planned loft conversion. Ground floor is less critical, because it's not affected by the planned works.
