You might want to apply diversity to your calculations.
Why do you ask these questions, grasshopper?

Why do you need so much power?

No diversity on lighting circuits; it is reasonable for all the lights to be on at once.
I think you'll find that the real idiot is the one who is so completely ignorant that he has come up with a "design" which calls for that much power and is so utterly stupid that he does not see that his incompetence and ignorance should be a bar to him "designing" lighting installations.
You should kick him into touch right now - stop listening to him, as he does not have a clue what he is doing.
because most lighting items, ceiling roses, switches etc are rated at 6 amps so when a fault occurs and there is a high fault current one of those might "blow" before the MCB operates. Sometimes they don't blow but instead start to glow, red hot sometimes and then things nearby may catch fire.
Hi Spud
What "hoofing" light source have you got to take the overall to 2.2kw?
