I could just use 1.5mm like I did last time but as somebody gave me a
left over reel of 1mm cable i'm going to use this instead.
This 1mm cable will be used to power 3x 25watt kitchen wall unit
underlighting and a seperate 1mm cable will power 3x 50watt halogen
downlights. Both 1mm cables will be joined to the 1.5mm live current into
the room.
Kitchen unit lighting= 3 x 25w= 75w= 75w / 240v= 0.3125A
Halogen downlights= 3 x 50w= 150w / 240v= 0.625A
Total ampage = 0.9375 Amps
Cable load = 14 Amps
So in the above calculation it's ok.
In addition to _some_ of the points above, please do use a proper
junction box, not terminal strip, to make any joints in your system.
