really think that subsequent posters who encourage him to make a
connection to a lighting circuit are offering dangerous advice.

Can't help thinking that encouraging him up a ladder might be unwise

Couldn't agree more - and most eloquently put, if I may be so bold.
What's more, new laws about such things prohibit dabbling, I believe,

even a knowledgeable mate is a dubious solution methinks?).

No.

Part P does not apply to extensions off existing circuits apart from
kitchens and bathrooms. Part P does not require the work to be done by
either a competent or a qualified person.
