is this wiring actually on the lighting ring?
If yes, then no.
I'd not chance it, in any case the breaker on that ring would probably pop
if you used it with a vacuum or angle grinder when the motor started!

Currently got wiring in the attic that runs a light. Originally just a
pull switch and bulb/holder but I've replaced with strip light.

However, what I want to do now is have plug socket up there. Is it
acceptable to run this wire into a double plug socket. (Then I can put
plug on end of wiring for light also and just plug this is leaving me with
one space socket).

Or leave well alone because its a light circuit?
