Why not just fit a 13A socket from the existing power supply, plug
your wallwart into that and be done with it?


Well done that man! I'd assumed that having a 13A socket on the
lighting circuit was against some regulation (that I hadn't found) and
failed to engage brain. Thanks! Brain now engaged and I will stop
thinking about it (but I *will* add a label to the socket, for the
benefit of whoever is here next).

Having 13A socket on a lighting circuit is fine as long as it is not
going to be mistaken for a general purpose socket. An additional label
on the socket also helps.

I doubt that anyone is going to climb up and use your doorbell socket to
plug a toaster in:-)

Do US or continental wall warts plug into 5 amp round pin sockets
intended for lighting ?.
