Hi
I am running a new upstairs lighting circuit and need to find a route down to the consumer unit which is in the cupboard under the stairs. The easiest and least disruptive route would be via the airing cupboard, in trunking, then under the floor from which I can drop down through the ceiling into the cupboard.
Are there any issues with running through the airing cupboard due to heat? Do I need to maybe run through in 2.5mm rather that the 1.5mm used on the rest of the circuit?
The lighting circuit will have 3 standard light pendants, 1 ceiling fan/light, 6 downlights (LED bulbs), 2 flourescent lights in the loft and the bathroom mirror (LED lights, Demister and shaving socket).
I will have an electrician come in to do testing and connection to consumer unit.
Thanks
