13amp sockets are (Wrongly) permitted on a lighting circuit

YOU are the one who is WRONG.
Give it up, or convince J/PEL 64 that you have the experience and understanding of electrical matters to contribute to a future edition of BS7671. Once you are on the committee I am sure that they will take your views into account.

Up until that time please stop posting WRONG and MISLEADING information.
The unwary DIYer coming on to this forum, who is not aware of your stupidity, could well think you know what you are talking about.

They are expressly permitted on lighting circuits.
They have been fitted to lighting circuits without any problems by thousands (possibly millions) of people for half a centuary or more.

Why are you the ONLY PERSON who seems to have a personal vendetta against this perfectly satisfactory facility?

I am not stupid. It is common sense not to overload a lighting circuit. Regs have been wrong (and corrected) before.

No. Only 3 and 13a are recognised standards and colour coded red and brown. All the others 1, 2, 5, 7, and 10 are non standard and coded black.

Thank you for confirming the standard colour for for the standard range of

1, 2, 5, 7, and 10

are in fact

coded black.

They are wrongly permitted on lighting circuits.

I have personally come across several problems with 13 amp sockets on lighting circuits, one resulted in a foot through the loft floor after being plunged into darkness.

It is not a personal vendetta, it is common sense.
