I want to install a plug socket in the loft. Can I run off the lighting circuit that is already there?

Many thanks

No you can not go from the lights the power point needs to be in the ring main same as the rest of the power points

Thanks for that, I though that was the case. Out of interest, Why is that?

Lighting circuits are rated at 6 amps and you want to draw up to 13 amps QED

There are no regs that say you cant put a 13 amp plug on a lighting circuit.

Depends what it's for. If you just want it for an aerial booster, you could fit a 2A socket.
