With the move toward intelligent and automated homes there will be more and more locations with lighting sockets which are switched remotely either through a relay often rated for 1 or 2 a or a dimmer again anywhere from 250 to 500w. Not considered good practice to fit a 13a socket to a lighting circuit. The provision of more an more low voltage lights leds or 12v halogen with plug in transformers goes totally against the drive for energy efficiency. Sockets intended for general use with a current rating must be rcd protected. You have to look at what would happen at worst you forget the socket in the loft and move the new owner see s a nice socket outlet in the loft which will do the immersion heater nicely. Putting a 13a socket on a lighting circuit is not expicilty prohibited. The diversity guidenlines say you should allow at least half a sockets rating for a socket on a lighting cuircuit but it must be remembered that diversity guidelines are just that. Theres no explicit requirements as to what sockets can be put on a lighting cuircuit. Unlike the ring power circuit the lighting circuit does not form a loop returning to the consumer unit. It keeps blowing the fuse so he puts in a bigger one this causes the 1 5mm to overheat thus.
The consumer unit is normally connected to the first lamp which in turn is connected to the second lamp and so on.
You can t put a 13amp socket on a 6amp lighting circuit full stop even if you know what its for. Putting a 13a socket on a lighting circuit is not expicilty prohibited. Theres no explicit requirements as to what sockets can be put on a lighting cuircuit. Lighting circuits are normally on a 6a breaker plugging in a large appliance my trip the breaker. With the move toward intelligent and automated homes there will be more and more locations with lighting sockets which are switched remotely either through a relay often rated for 1 or 2 a or a dimmer again anywhere from 250 to 500w. Sockets intended for general use with a current rating must be rcd protected.
It keeps blowing the fuse so he puts in a bigger one this causes the 1 5mm to overheat thus. Shaver units may also be connected to the lighting circuit treat it as equivalent to one 100 watt lamp where installed in a bathroom or a room containing a shower the shaver unit must incorporate an isolating transformer. Yes but preferably 2 amp or 5 amp. The consumer unit is normally connected to the first lamp which in turn is connected to the second lamp and so on.

Unlike the ring power circuit the lighting circuit does not form a loop returning to the consumer unit. Yes but preferably 2 amp or 5 amp.
Shaver lights and sockets can be run directly from the lighting circuit if you are adding a false cieling with recessed lights then simply run an extra permanent live feed to the shaver light from this circuit. Lighting circuits are normally on a 6a breaker plugging in a large appliance my trip the breaker. It keeps blowing the fuse so he puts in a bigger one this causes the 1 5mm to overheat thus. You can t put a 13amp socket on a 6amp lighting circuit full stop even if you know what its for. However there are a couple of things to bear in mind.
