[QUOTE="poni, post: 521438, member: 1497"] last question first, yes you can use the 10mm T&E for what ever you want as long as you don't over load the cable ( that is hard to tell you as we need more details,) but normally 10mm is good for about 45A, look at the consumer unit and see the fuse/ MCB size it is , that would be a good indication ( if it was install correctly,again we will not know) the first question is a lot harder to explain then it is to do, first you need to remove one ceiling light from the circuit( put the old cable in a joint box and label them as old light, remembering to not connect the switch pair) then connect it to the other light using some T&E the same size as the existing ones. both switches will need to be changed to two way switches, the switch that controls the light that has been removed needs a cable run to the other switch this should be a 3core and earth the same size as all the others, [/QUOTE]
