Does anyone have any 1.0mm or 1.5mm cable for moving a light switch? I only need 2m max to remove the pull cord light switch in the bathroom and transfer it to a new switch just outside in the hallway. Alternatively, where can I buy it by the metre. Don;t really want to pay for 7m when I only need a bit. I have some 2.5mm twin and earth and wanted to use that but have been told that it is not recommended.
