I appreciate the advice on cable size, whilst I don't think I will exceed
the cable rating I want the cable rating to be able to run all the lights at once which I think is sensible. Speaking with towsure they disagree.

It is simple - once you've calculated your requirements. Remember that 2mm2 is the cross section area of the cable - the diameter of 2mm2 cable is around 1.5mm. A 7 strand cable of this size is quite manageable. the 2.5mm2 cable isn't much thicker.




Your choice....
