hi, guys, slight confusion here, installing a lighting circuit in a barn. job is likely to be used for assessment so it's got to be spot on. Coming from 10A MCB in 1.5mm to 2 gang switch, one switch for each of a bay of 4 x 6' twin fluorescents ( both runs in 1.5mm ). Done the cable calcs no problems with volt drop. Problem is, the run from the MCB to the 2 gang switch is only 5m, whereas the runs from the switches to the last fittings are 30m and 45m respectively. do i measure both runs for R1+R2 and record them both?
 
thanks guys. I'll measure at each JB and record the highest reading.
