RE:
"Lighting is always on a seperate circuit from power here, and uses much
thinner cable (1 or 1.5mm) and a much lower fuse/breaker rating (6A,
usually).  I don't know what your cable gauges are, but 1mm is rated for
14A,
1.5mm is 18A and 2.5mm is 26A.  There's also 4mm and 6mm for special
purposes, but I can't remember their ratings."

My workshop lighting circuit is shared with a basement pump and the freezer.
I want to know as soon as possible that we have tripped a breaker on either.

That is not what the building code wants, but it is the simplest solution
for an alarm that I could think of.
