Circuit Breaker Rating: The circuit breaker or fuse should be rated at 6A for a 1.5mm² cable.
Voltage: The standard voltage for lighting circuits in the UK is 230V AC.
It's important to ensure that the wiring and components comply with the
latest edition of BS 7671 to maintain safety and efficiency. If you're unsure, it's always best to consult with a qualified electrician or refer to the specific requirements outlined in the standard.
