Anyone know where I can buy 1.5mm2 red/black twin & earth mains cable. The
reason is I have a small amount of wiring to finish off in my house (all
major stuff done pre Jan 2005) and don't really want the hassle of labelling
the box and junctions with colour warnings.

TIA
Martin.

I picked up some at B&Q not so long ago, it was on clearance so it won't
be around for long.

If we are talking power rather than lighting, suggest that 2.5 is more
appropriate!
Not sure on your application/fusing etc. though

I suspect that as the OP has apparently done some "major wiring" last
year, and that he hasn't specifically asked for advice on cable rating,
that he probably knows what he wants.

If you are in N Wales, I'll swap you a part roll for a roll of the new
colours.

I was in Homebase the other day, and all their cable seems to be in
the "old" colours.

YMMV -

You don't need to label junctions unless it's a 3-phase installation.
For single-phase you only need a simple label on the consumer unit.
