    What about a 16sq supply and wire lights in 2.5 and sockets in 4sq.

    The volt drop on the 16 sq. mm cable alone will be excessive (if you take a design current of 20A).

    The solution is either:
    1) Lower the design current - Consider energy efficient lighting.
    2) Larger cable - Expensive
    3) Shorter run - Different cable routing perhaps? Or move the shed?

    Sorry man read your calculations table wrong (Must book an eye test). So would have to be at least 25 but 35sq would be ideal but expensive.

    Maybe a generator would be his best bet.
