hi guys, i have installed all my own light fixtures in my house.

my scenario is that i want to have one switch turn on two lights (example : two pendant lights from the ceiling) although there's only one set of wires (L,N,E) or "daisy chain"

my questions are these :

1) how do i add an extension of wires for the next light from one light
2) how can i be sure that two lights won't cause the wires to overheat and melt , causing a fire? (am using two 14/18 watt energy saving bulbs for 2 lights)
Appreciate your responses!

1. Loop from A to B L-L and N-N, if have Green then loop the same.
2. Normally 1.5mm for lighting should be more than enough.
