Hi all,
I'm looking to install a residential wireless CCTV camera where the camera hangs down from the ceiling.
I need a socket to power a camera with but do not have any power sockets in the loft from where to take an extenion and power the camera from. I do however have the upstairs lighting circuit up there.
Is it safe to branch off of from a lighting circuit and install a power socket in the loft from which to power this camera?
The power consumption on the camera says DC 5V 2.0A. There are currently 6 lights running on the lighting circuit each has a 60W bulb and the MCB that runs this circuit is a 6Amp one.
All help and advise is much appreciated. Thanks.
