I have a double Socket, I'd like to come off the socket to a 3amp fused spur, then daisy chain the below (they will be surrounding a mirror)
I've worked out the amps to be 0.38A, using https://www.electricalsafetyfirst.org.u ... alculator/.
What's the best way to achieve this? I'm fairly confident with spurring and fitting the lights, i just want to make sure the daisy chaining of the lights is correct and I also use the correct cable.

Re: Installing some new LED lighting
Although you should "daisy chain" the lights, you actually wire them in parallel.
I would wait until you get the light fittings as they may have an option to interconnect.
As for the cable its fixed wiring so 1mm T & E will be fine.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.

Re: Installing some new LED lighting
assuming there is enough room in the terminal blocks then just wire ==0==0==0==0 where 0 is the light and = is the live and neutral
