Default Electrical socket, change of use

Hi There

After ripping out all the hot water tanks in a bedroom, I was left with
a surface mouted socket which supplied the immersion heater.
This is fused seperatly on the CU to 15A.
Would it be OK to remount the socket in the wall (lower down) and use it
as a light use power socket eg a light or hairdryer?
I know the ring main runs on 30A, but would 15A be suitable for only light usage ?

Any help would be great

Simon
