2 wire switch fedI tend to run feed to the switch but thats mostly because everyone wants hundreds of spotlights.
Enough to embarrass blackpool at least.
I nearly always run the live and neutral to the switch on wiring to spotlights unless its existingI tend to run feed to the switch but thats mostly because everyone wants hundreds of spotlights.

because you would have to fit joint boxes in the ceiling behind one of the fittings and if ever a fault you would have to pull half the fittings out to find out which one it is behind and the fittings are designed for only having 2 cables in the conection block loop in loop outwhy is that?
lucky i drew a map of which one of my fittins have the box behind!because you would have to fit joint boxes in the ceiling behind one of the fittings and if ever a fault you would have to pull half the fittings out to find out which one it is behind and the fittings are designed for only having 2 cables in the conection block loop in loop out
if I put joint boxes in on them I always put it on the nearest to the light switch so in donkeys years time I still know where it will belucky i drew a map of which one of my fittins have the box behind!

that's ok but why do u use 1.5mm cable ? use 1.0mm its thinner easier to use and cheaperNooooooo i dont have any 3 core and earth, I must have used it all for my fire alarm install! so I have run 2 runs of 1.5mm twin and earth between switches
I had half a roll of 1.5mm left over from the house rewire, needed 1.5 for the house due to all the down lighters on the ring. The cable for this build is all left over from the hous re wirethat's ok but why do u use 1.5mm cable ? use 1.0mm its thinner easier to use and cheaper
1.5mm is good for 16 amp 1.0mm is good for 10amp so u don't need itI had half a roll of 1.5mm left over from the house rewire, needed 1.5 for the house due to all the down lighters on the ring. The cable for this build is all left over from the hous re wire
I like steel trunking and conduit drops as above makes adjustments easy.
really wow i did use 1mm up stairs on the lighting circuit1.5mm is good for 16 amp 1.0mm is good for 10amp so u don't need it
