A lighting circuit is a circuit wired in 1.0mm² cable or larger (and powering at least one fixed light?)What's a lighting circuit?

We'd like you to tell us.If you are a sparks and don't know that it is time you found another career.
What if, hypothetically, the circuit served six fans, six shaver sockets and one light, or some such combination of loads. Would it still be a 'lighting circuit'?
Kind Regards, John
That sounds like a cooker circuit.
We'd like you to tell us.
Clearly it was for a gas cooker, so the power requirements were only for the ignition device and a light inside the oven, making it a lighting circuit after all.You definitely need to find another career if you think a cooker circuit can be wired in 1.0 mm cable.

He would, but what about what JohnD actually wrote ....You definitely need to find another career if you think a cooker circuit can be wired in 1.0 mm cable.
??.... a circuit wired in 1.0mm² cable or larger ....
As EFLI has implied if, like you and winston, one says that just one fixed light supplied by a circuit renders it a 'lighting' circuit, then all sorts of circuits (like EFLI's cooker example, and many circuits primarily supplying sockets) would qualify as 'lighting circuits', and that would obviously be ridiculous/daft.A lighting circuit is a circuit wired in 1.0mm² cable or larger (and powering at least one fixed light?)

*Pops in to see if there's an answer to my initial question* Nope *Leaves*

If we must have a distinction between 'lighting' and 'power' circuits (and I personally don't see why we need one), the I would have thought that the only sensible definition of a 'lighting' circuit would be along the lines that it 'primarily'/'largely'/whatever supplied lighting loads.
... and what happens about the 'heavy' stuff - is the circuit supplying, say, the floodlighting of Wembley Stadium not a 'lighting circuit' (since I imagine that it has an OPD >16A) ??
