I dont call that a 13A socket which a 2/3KW appliance can be plugged in potentially. lolYes we do, we commonly have smoke alarms on lighting circuits.
Come on Daz

We did think is was 1kw or 500WMy in-laws have a fan heater in their bathroom running off a 3036 5A lighting circuit turned down internally for 1kw instead of 2kw.
Power and lighting has been mixed for many years as far back as the 2A, 5A and 15A round pin socketsTUT TUT , well its not just about BS7671 is it, come on people remember your days at the local tech college, its about adhering to the electrical craft principles we were all taught.
My tutors would be have a fit if they heard some of the comments going on here.
Practically IMO its not good for a circuit to be running over its CCC even if it only for a few seconds with big loads being plugged in untill its goes pop.
Then you could argue that being plunged in total darkness could warrant a C2 for safety reasons in some certain circumstances.
It would be a C3 for me all day long. We dont mix power with lighting circuits.
Maybe that will be in the next amendment that a socket outlet must be fitted next to the last fitting on the circuitMakes it easy to do ELI and RCD testing on a lighting circuit if there’s a handy socket
It would with my old Robin KMP 5404 testerMakes it easy to do ELI and RCD testing on a lighting circuit if there’s a handy socket
