Hi stuarti1

It is normal to use 1 or 1.5 twin and earth cable for lighting circuits. But as you haven't provided any more info on this installation, I have to point out that there are regulations that apply specifically to bathrooms.

I hope these lights are of a type designed for bathroom use. Apart from electrical requirements, some recessed types can convey moist air to the roof space causing condensation problems.

If in any doubt at all please consult an electrician, safety first, especially in the bathroom.
