AFAIK, you shouldn't use the lighting circuit at all, as even if you

a future person could attach something of high load and cause a fire.

But any load higher than 5 or 6 amps would trip/blow the lighting
circuit's MCB or
fuse, so I can't see how it would be dangerous ? That's not to say it's
reg-compliant ! The only safety issue (ignoring the regs etc) would be
the
possible lack of RCD protection.

Run it through a fused connection unit with a 5amp fuse, thus there are 2
fuses protecting the socket. yes some could uprate both fuses - but then
again someone could re wire the socket completely.
