Default Using wiring for attic light socket as plug socket?

Use a 1A or 3A fuse then.


Indeed... although it does depend on what the main circuit is protected
with. There are some 10A lighting circuits about which will offer more
scope.


From Day One of my self-employment I've used 3A fuses to protect TV
amplifiers etc. I've always bought a big bagful. During my recent
month-long stock room clear out I found three large bags of 3A fuses,
all partly used. In volume terms I'd say I have over a litre of 3A
fuses. It seems unlikely that I will need these for my domestic
requirements.
