Hi

Simple question I think - is there a specific cable requirement for connecting up 240v 6w LED downlights in a daisy chain extending the current lighting circuit? Probably going to have 6-12 lights running off 1 switch. Aware needs to be 3 core with earth to all lights - more the rating of the cable needed ... 0.75mm / 1mm / 1.5mm?

Thanks
 
generally I use 1.0mm T/E direct into the fitting unless a JB of sorts is needed. the fittings i use have a driver with connection block and a short plug-in flex to the actual light.
