[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 416348, member: 1607"] The current capacity guidance for 1.5mm T&E ranges from 10A, 13A, 14.5A, 16A to 20A depending upon how much of it is buried in insulation through to clipped direct. Your couple of lights are very unlikely to start any overloading issues on what is a short run of 1.5mm. If you did happen to put a dead short across the L&N I would think your 13A FCU will pop before the shed burns down from the lighting cable fault. If you are really worried put a 10A fuse in your house FCU.
