Hello. Could anyone tell me if it is safe to run two lighting circuits off socket circuit. Although there is only one connection to the socket it appears that this also connected to the shower and switches it off. The cable to the socket is 2.5mm. The cable leading to the shower is by my estimation 6mm. The shower unit (aqua galaxy 3000) runs on a 32amp circuit and therefore is approximately 7 kw giving 29.166 amps. The idea is too take a 2.5mm lead off the socket (see attachments) and then connect to fused connection unit in the airing cupboard. Then step down power to 5 amp fuse in FCU. From there connect to a junction box with 1.5mm cable and then two 1.5mm cables leading from there connecting to one light switch in the airing cupboard and other to another switch in the loft above and ultimately to light fittings. The bulbs will be modern LED (5.5w) traditionally 50watt. So total wattage output will be very low. Thank you for your help.
