Default Flooring a garage loft

Hi,

I had this done at my old house, and would like to have the same
again. I thought how hard can it be, so I'm doing it myself this time.
The last place had the bar code left on the boards, so I know what to
get there. The only question I have really is about how to re-wire the
lighting? The current setup has the wires going across some boards
which I'm going to rip up and replace with the new flooring. I need to
re-do those wires, plus I guess stick in some sort of junction box so
that I can run a couple of lights up in the new loft along with a
switch by the loft hatch / ladder. I'm no electrician though. I've
previously installed a junction box to run a security light off the
front of the garage. That's the limit of my electrical experience:

* What kit I need to add in the new lighting along with a light
switch?
* How do I ensure that I'm not overloading the circuit?
* What have I missed?

All expertise gratefully received.

Cheers,

James
