hi the other half wants to have a reading light above the bed. is it possible to have a ceiling spot ( mounted on wall) and connected to a 13amp mains plug.

should be fine, just make sure you restrain the flex going into the fitting somehow, earth the fitting if it requires it and fit a 3A fuse in the plug.
 
I want to do something similar to the post above for my cupboard under stairs and this is probably a silly question but how do I know if I need to earth the fitting (without touching it :rolleyes: )? Can I just use 3 core flex and earth it anyway? Thanks....

Hello,
Class 1 fittings require an earth, they have exposed conductive parts. Class 2 fittings do not require an earth.
'Running' a 3-core cable and leaving the 'earthing' conductor in a connector block may be helpful if you decide to change the fitting at a later date.

Hope this helps
