Help with a lighting circuit

Posted by Jamie Cleland, on
Hi, I am currently tasked with putting power and lighting into 5 iso containers and was asking for advice on the lighting circuit. The lighting circuit is powered from a DB via a 6A circuit breaker. The cable we are using is 1.5mm SWA. Within each iso container there are 2 5ft fluorescent lights (1 white and 1 red) and these connect to a 2 gang switch in the same Iso container. I was asking for advice on how to wire up because in my head I think if I do it my way there will be SWA cable everywhere which is not ideal because the light fittings only have 2 entry holes and the 2 gang switch only has 3 entry holes. Any help or drawings on how to wire up would be appreciated. Thanks
