Hi i had an seperate circuit put around the house for outside wall lights with its own mcb. I told him where i wanted to eventually fit the lights (wall lanterns around 3 meter of ground level) he drilled the holes for the cable to pass through to the outside on each light location and also ran the cable through a junction box at each light location. I recently purchased the lights and i wish to install them. I am more than capable of fitting these lights but i need to know what cable i need to use for the lights as there will be around 30 cm running along the outside wall. I have seen this cable at screwfix Nexans 3183P Black 3-Core 0.75mm² Flexible Cable 25m Drum - https://www.screwfix.com/p/nexans-3183p-black-3-core-0-75mm-flexible-cable-25m-drum/169fk It does have a rubber sheath would this cable be suitable or there is an option of a 1.5mm or is that overkill . Thankyou
 
Assuming this is on the lighting circuit with a 6amp MCB, then .75 will be ok.
 
30m of 0.75?
 
Each light needs 30cm to connect to its junction box.
