I've just had a shed built and the builder has run the lighting for the

built onto the utility room.

I expressed concern, but the builder has assured me that it is
perfectly fine to power a light off a power circuit. Is he right?

Possibly no problem for him electricky-wise - but if your electric tool slips,
does you some damage and trips the breaker you will be left in the dark...
