Hi, hope you can help me.
A recent storm seemed to do my loft based aerial booster no favours.
I've bought a new one but have no socket in the loft to plug it into.
The old setup was in place when I moved into the house and it is wired directly into a fused switch box, the fuse is a 3Amp one. Photo link here:

The new booster has an AC adaptor and needs a socket:

I was considering adding a socket where the fused switch box is now BUT when I traced the cable feeding the fused box it runs straight to the lights in the loft.
Is this right? I thought the lights and plug sockets shouldn't be mixed on the same circuit.
