[QUOTE="myksterx, post: 499387, member: 32956"] Hi. im new hopefully i dont get hammered. searched the net alot for answer, to then get alot of mixed views etc which lead me to sign up here to try and get an answer for myself lol. i have a man cave. its own 32amp breaker on circuit board for 2.5mm socket ring. it also has a seperate breaker on circuit board for 1.5mm lighting. I have had the ceiling plastered now, so the 1.5mm wires are gone buried. but i have built a leanto at the back of the garden were i want to run around 8 LED spotlights. i am able to spur off my 2.5mm ring that has a 32amp breaker for my lighting in the lean to. This is pretty much the only option i got atm. is this safe to do so? also - what parts do i need to downsize amps or current or what not to adhere to the 1.5mm cable for my lights. OR do i run 2.5mm cable as a replacement for 1.5mm cable as ide be spuring from a 2.5mm ring —— hopefully this makes sense, if its safe to do so, just need to know what i need to do to make the spur off safe [/QUOTE]
