Is it OK to daisy-chain fluorescent lights - that is, have
one switch, and continue the cable from the first fitting
to subsequent ones?

probably ok with standard cables, how many are we talking about.

There will be four, 2x5' slim tube ones, 1x4' slim tube one, and
an ancient "fast start" one with a fat 4' tube and a nice polished
aluminium reflector. Cable is 1mm in the garage, fed from a 2.5mm
feed from the house to a junction box, via a high(ish) level 4m
galvanised conduit.
