Default Loft power socket?

The consensus on here and on another forum where I asked the same question,
seems to be that the best way to do this is to use a FCU fitted with a 3A
fuse,


Indeed, perhaps with a cord outlet near to the amplifier.

and clearly mark it as follows

"MAXIMUM LOAD 3 AMP / 600 WATTS"


I don't see any need for that on the FCU. If anyone in the future
wishes to re-arrange the fixed wiring then one of the first things
they need to do is ascertain what circuits things are connected to.

However, if installing a 13A socket on the lighting circuit it
should certainly be permanently marked in this way and perhaps a
different colour.
