Default Heater on 1.5mm lighting circuit ?

The frost heater turns itself on when the temperature is less than 3 or 5 degrees and thus is off for over 11 months a year (and much cheaper than having 100watt bulbs on 24/7)

I guess it should be on a fused switch, hopefully on the same circuit as the bathroom light, fan, and a few other lights.

It's so that the plastic header tank doesn't freeze.
Just count it as 2 amps for calculating the length of 1.5mm cable allowed?
