Flashing lamp

A 20amp radial circuit comprising of three or four 13amp sockets COULD be overloaded, so not really any different to a 13amp socket on a lighting circuit.
Completely different. Lights are a safety essential. A 20a radial is not.
 
You know as well as anyone else that plunging the house into darkness due to overloading the lighting circuit could have dire consequences in certain circumstances.

Yes Winston1 that is as I said true, but a 13 amp socket does NOT overload the circuit. It is only the LOAD that is plugged in to that socket that can overload the circuit.

Yes but if that 13a socket is not incorrectly wired into the lighting circuit that won't happen would it?

Did you campaign against the fitting of MCBs on lighting circuits, in the days when people used to have incandescant lamps with filaments in them?

Where has this silly stupid fetish come from?

It is not a fetish. It is a real risk. I have seen it happen.
Cor deary me If I made a fuss as big as you every time a MCB tripped I'd be a nervous wreck. Stop being a silly whimp and grow up.
