I was in a house recently which had small round pin sockets (in the
lounge) wired via the lighting circuit. They were controled by the
light switch and designed to run table lamps. Quite a nice idea, one
click of a switch & all your table lamps come on.

Is that still legal?

Yes - and desirable over 13 amp sockets for this use. Stops the Hoover
being plugged in and blowing the dimmer.

Most wholesalers sell 2 and 5 amp 3 pin plugs and sockets which are
suitable for this use. Think the larger sheds may do so too.
