I have wired up kitchen ceiling halogen downlights (qty 12) directly from the original light feed in the ceiling and have run the connecting cables down two of the walls as it would have been a major task to get the upstairs floorboards up. The cables are protected by metal caping above kitchen unit level and are exposed below to go behind the units. I am confident this is all fine.

I have now had my horrible artexed ceiling nicely skimmed and all looks great.

However, I have made a bit of a booboo as I realise I have to wire the unit downlights and now have no way to get a lighting circuit feed to power them up.

Is there anything non compliant about pluging them into a 13amp socket and putting a 3amp fuse in the plug ?

Nothing non-compliant with that but would suggest you add a Switched Fused Spur Connection Unit off the socket circuit. Why use ut a valuable socket for the lights.
