Hey all,
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm mainly looking for reassurance that I'm not doing something dangerous...
I have a conservatory without a hard-wired light fixture and I'd like to add a fitting but power it from a wall socket.
From googling, I can't find any reason why it would be unsafe to wire a standard ceiling light fitting (i.e. something designed to wire directly into the lighting circuit) directly to a 3-core, 0.75mm² cable with standard 3-pin plug to power the light directly from a wall socket. I'll only be using 1 LED bulb so I think a 3A fuse should be fine? Is that all correct?
To reach the ceiling, the cable will be quite long (~7 meters) and I'd like to add an in-line rocker switch. Would either of those pose a problem or add any extra safety considerations?
Thanks
