Sure, no probs.
Make sure you connect the earth through as well as the live and neutral.
And clip the cable so it doesn't drape all over the place.

I would ask your electrician to come back. And ask him to fit the other/others you asked him to fit in the first place. You did ask for more than one ?
If not just get him to come back and fit another for you.
It is perfectly safe, provided you do it correctly.

No what it was i had two electricians in to put smoke alarms in my council house and i said could you put me a light in my loft so one went up and did it while i did the paper work with the other one, it was over in a flash (no pun intended) gave him £30 on the way out,and when i had a look there was only one,But i did say could you put A light in my loft so it does sound like one. lol
You're right
A light in my loft is singular.
Some lights in my loft would have elicited the response "how many do you want"
Hey ho, its not difficult to do.
