This may not be conventional but thought I would ask as I wasn't sure if FCU's are always on the same circuit as 13amp sockets.
In the bathroom, there is a (redundant) combined shaving unit/light, fed from the upstairs lighting radial circuit (not a spur, part of the radial).
Can this be down graded into an FCU to power a heated towel rail?
Towel rail is rated at 600W ~ 2.6 Amps, from memory this lighting circuit is protected by 6A or 8A MCB, but would have to check later.
If not, it's ok, would mean removing redundant wire, terminating in an accessible JB. I'd have to then find a way into the 1st floor socket radial, under the dreaded tongue/groove chipboard...
Thanks
