Is it permissible to drop a 'brown/blue' + earth 1.5mm cable in a lighting circuit to a room lighting switch (switched live circuit), or must it be a 'brown/brown' + earth?

I bought a PIR sensor for the back. There is one existing light out there but I plan to later add up to 3 more. In the meantime, I want to ad the PIR sensor to the current light. In the sensor there are three wires in the block (Two live and a neutral). One live (red) has a light bulb symbol...
I've searched the usual places, but can I find straight forward live 1.5mm core cable? Nope! I need this to avoid having to strip perfectly good cables just to get the live one one for some small installation work I am doing.
Any ideas please?

It looks like a two way switch but then there should only be three wires: 2 strappers & N.
It looks like a ring main with two L & two N. But only...
In Ireland we run a 1.5 mm brown and brown and cpc from the pendant to the switch as you are never allowed use the blue from a t&e, is this the case for the UK or do you still run brown and blue and mark the blue as a phase ??

Hi people, not sure this is the right section, but if I chose to do a CU change for a Part P scheme's assessment, I know I don't become responsible for the entire installation but is it my responsibility to ensure brown sleeving is placed on every switch live throughout the installation?
