Table lamp

[taffyboy]

I am installing a new light from an existing junction box on the lighting circuit.
Instead of wiring this to a ceiling light I want to connect it to a table lamp (bedside lamp) which can be controlled from the wall light swtich rather than a socket.
Is this advisable? does it need fuse?

Thanks

It is "ok" providing you use a 5amp socket (and change the plug on the table lamp) to ensure no body unplugs the lamp and wacks a hair driver or worse 2Kw fan heater in!

there is acyually a "problem" if its for you, you will have to get out of bed to turn it off
