not with a 10 amp breaker
@brightspark told me to upgrade the breaker when it was buzzing after fitting the big boy flood light outside! now i have replaced that for a LED version I could swap the MCB back to a 6A but why bother if the cable is man enoughWould naturally expect 6a breaker, hard to pull that with leds
I've got 18 1500mm singles and 3 doubles. The doubles all come on on the one switch but the rest are individually switched.a 12 and a 4gang switch Christ how many light u running
the shed will have a 6A breaker anyway. The 3core was 1mmThe current capacity of the cable is going to vary depending on the installation method, it is possible to install 1.0 in such a way that it would not be protected by a 10A breaker.
The length of the run will also have an impact, which is why myself I would go for 1.5 on a 10A for a larger circuit and keep 1.0 on a 6A, and then you know you are covered whatever happens down the line.
Difference is only a couple of quid on a drum.
