Crescendo style LED lighting on stairs - connect via Lighting or Sockets circuit?

[JohnW2]

Thanks everyone, I've decided to tap into the sockets circuit and use a switched FCU inside the cupboard under the stairs. The main reasons for deciding this over the lighting circuit is because it leaves more options open for the future - I have concrete floors and a new ceiling will of course be going back on soon. For example, it creates a more accessible point if I ever needed to feed an additional socket, stair lift or whatever else the future brings.

Fair enough. The thinking behind your decision seems very reasonable. You'll need no bigger than a 3A fuse (a 1A one would be adequate) in the switched FCU.

Kind Regards, John
