I have 1.5mm cable for a downstairs lighting circuit.
Can I add a 3 pin socket to it above the door
for use by christmas lights etc?


It's common to use round pin sockets for things like table lamps plugged
in to a lighting circuit. Normally round pin 2 or 5 amp. If you used a 13
amp socket, some idiot might plug in a heater etc.
