A mile of extenion leads from B&Q is only gonna cost you a a couple of
hundred quid, not that I would do this.

I get the fealing we are about to find out why this is a bad idea.

Since there is an appreciable voltage drop over 25m of 6mm^2 cable, I
suspect 1610m of 2.5mm^2 flex might just leave enough to power a torch bulb.

If it was a very small one.

And you didn't need much light.

And I'd be very surprised if B&Q sold 2.5mm extension leads.
