RGB LED lights via fibaro controllers

Eboy
Hi

I am looking to install 24v RGB LED lights around my kitchen from a centrally located PSU / controller position.

From this position the lights require 5core cable. Would anyone have any experience or know what cable can be used for first fixing that complies with regs? I seem to remember a debate once about using flex for first fixing?

    My first reaction would be to contact the manufacturer. The regs ditched the 1.5mm requirement for LV lights recently, (due to LED's supplanting halogen) but am minded of the fact that instructions overrule the regs.  


    In the absence of any guidance from the manufacturer, I'd simply take a pragmatic approach that it provides equivalent safety., and use 6 core cable (i'm averse to using g/y for anything but earth even at SELV )


    If there are other requirements (fire ratings etc), you could use FP200 or generic. But i suspect this won't come into play.
