    MICC / Pyro CSA for Garage / Workshop socket circuit

    So I'm contemplating wiring the garage / workshop) sockets in Pyro....(also considered using SWA) However having never used it before, I'm looking for some help / tips with it. First: for a 20A socket Radial - 2L1.5 or 2L2.5? Also is this utter overkill or a worthwhile experiment?
