Flashing lamp

Cost does not come into it. Do it the correct way with electrics.

Is it an incorrect method?

Could fit a 1363 socket on a lighting circuit.

Don’t need a FCU on a light circuit. A 3 a fuse has no discrimination against a 6a MCB.

The FCU is part of the power supply which came with the fan

 

[crystal ball]

Does the fan run 24/7 then? If connected to live and neutral, then there's nothing that would switch it on and off...

It is a trickle fan controlled by a humidistat, there is a pull cord to switch it to full power.

By the way I moved the supply to an old immersion circuit all good

But that is for if you wire it off the ring. You don't need it for a lighting circuit.

You know full well that is bad practice.

And most people know that your opinion on this is wrong.

For clarity "" a 1363 socket on a lighting circuit. "" is NOT bad practise

Manufacturers requirement, cannot be by passed

It seems that you are critical of any procedure suggested to connect loads other than lights to 6A circuits.
So what method would you suggest as good practice to provide total isolation for maintenance purposes without losing the light to be able to do the work?

Manufacturers requirement, cannot be by passed

Yes it can if, as is so often the case, it is wrong. There is no requirement in the regs to follow manufacturers instructions.

How would people fitting this outside the UK fare where FCUs are not available or complaint?

Have you never heard of a double pole switch?

In your opinion. Common sense clearly shows overloading a circuit by over 100% is bad practice.

And a FCU is not double pole switch?

It's impossible to overload a correctly designed and installed circuit, even if it contains devices of a higher rating.
