TV on Lighting Ring Main?

[AndyPRK]

Yes you can add a socket off a light circuit for a TV.

It's a sensible approach if the socket it to be fitted high up.
According to regulations it should have an RCD if the circuit doesn't already have one. But in practice there is no greater risk in this case, when compared to changing a light bulb

Yes you will be OK. and so will the supply to the TV

As I have already said it bad practice to put a 13 amp socket on the lighting circuit.

It is only Winston's obsessive OPINION that it is bad practise.

Sorry Bernard, I'm not stealing your thunder, I thought it looked so good it deserves to be seen again.
