1.5mm nowadays for general lighting arrangements in a domestic property.
Question
Is there living accommodation above? remember to use fire rated downlighters not the cheapo B&Q specials, visit a reputable wholesaler such as Newey & Eyre / Edmundsons etc as you will get better gear.
I avoid LED at the moment, too many problems with the drivers packing up, Personal choice is a 35 or 50w dichroic unit and appropriate transformer, remember to give sufficient breathing space for the transformers when in the void.
Remember that all the work you are doing is notifiable and comes under Part P of the building regs, either inform building control for them to inspect or employ a Part P approved contractor to carry it out.
