    Extending table lamp flex

    I have a table lamp fitted with 2 core 0.75mm flex. I wish to extend the length of the cable but only have 2 core 1.5mm flex to hand. Can I use this, or must the flex be the same diameter both sides of the join. Sorry if this is a ridiculous question. Thank you for your advice.
