But if you wish to use something like a lead light or other device

No need for the 5A FCU. The 6A MCB or 5A fuse will take care of any
overload.


Except that that will take out the lights, too - plunging the attic into
darkness!

Now what is required is the labelling of the 13A socket. eg "TV amp/loft
light ONLY"

Sometimes you just have to fit 13A sockets for the TV amp/LED lighting wall
warts that you want to power.


Unless you make up a short extension lead with an in-line 13A socket at
one end and a more appropriate plug at the other.
