Hi, following the success of my last post.

I now wish to layout a drawing of my garage prior to wiring it.

I have a 5 way consumer unit fed by 6mm swa. The cu has a 63amp 30ma rcd.

My plan is to-

1.- A 1mm2 T+E lighting circuit, incorporating 4 x 5' twin flourescent fittings + 1 x4' single flourescent fitting, all on a 6amp MCB
2.- A 2.5mm2 T+E Radial circuit with 6 double sockets on it, on a 16amp MCB
3.- Security lighting flood lights seperate circuit to lighting circuit on a 6amp MCB
4.- A Garden feed in the form of a 6mm SWA (already in underground) to decking to run 2 double sockets, on a 16amp MCB (one of the sockets will run a small swimming pool heater)
5.- A spare way

Is there anything garingly obvious about this design that will be incorrect to regulations Ie is the 1mm2 T+E adequate?.

My theory is to split up the circuits to keep it simple.

I wont be using the garage for anything industrial size ie an oil welder, it is just used for hobby work. The existing 1 double socket in the garage is presently run of a fused spur and i have never blown the fuse.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
