sups - that tells you all you need to know about the strength of this guy's grasp on reality.FCUs are not fitted ... on lighting circuits.
Please ignore what he tells you - it's b*****ks.

hi sups, your plan to take a feed from the first light on kitchen ceiling is not going to access the circuit line (live) only the switched live.so camera will be switched off when lights are. I am a bit confused when you say the light is the closest point to pick up a supply , when you also appear to have access to the loft space above it ??? or is it not immediately above ,in which case why go in the loft at all ??
I bought Fsu (I had to google what this meant) in to the picture as an afterthought from someones previous response. the concern was that something could get plugged in that would draw more than 6Amps.
as you now know, the location of socket is in such an obscure place, the chances of anyone plugging in a kettle, vacum, toster or what ever is very very remote, but still my thinking was that if for any reason the socket starts to draw more than 3Amps, the fuse would blow, and the lights would stay intact. Another member posted saying that it doesn't work like this - though i'm not sure why.
got that !! so as previously advised an additional socket on the ring final ,if you can get to the cagbles, is best way.failing that ,one on the lighting circuit. by the way have you got RCD protection on lighting circuit ?
The 6A MCB in the consumer unit will protect the circuit against that.the concern was that something could get plugged in that would draw more than 6Amps.

Not true.You who went away and sulked when you were told you were wrong.
Interesting to note that you aren't repeating the claim which I quoted, i.e. that FCUs are not used on lighting circuits.I repeat FCUs are not required on lighting circuits. A 3amp fuse will not discriminate against a 6 amp MCB.
They are sockets which are rated at up to 13A. Of course they can go on a circuit rated at less than what they are rated at. You do have some funny ideas.13 amp sockets are not meant to be put on lighting circuits.
Rubbish.NO, NO, NO. 13 amp sockets should not be put on lighting circuits.
Rubbish.
