Hi all,
I'm just after a bit of advice - I'm a DIYer and have some Aurora integrated downlights that have given up the ghost. The ones that are broken are rated at 4.9W and connected using 0.75mm flex to a red connector which connects the downlight to the circuit. I can't tell what wiring is used for the main lighting circuit as i can't see enough of it!
They don't make the same model anymore so I have purchased these from screwfix. They are rated at 4.5W. Am I right in thinking that if I get some 3 core 0.75mm flex then it will be no worse than is presently installed. However, on some forums I have read that the minimum for wiring is now 1mm.
I'm happy taking the old connecter and rewiring it to the new downlight - but what wire to use is my question?
Can anyone advise me on what to use?
Thanks
Will
