Lighting circuit - radial tree allowed?
 

I have a bathroom fan to fit in the loft for which I'll break into
& spur off the radial lighting circuit.

Whilst doing that I thought I should install a simple loft light.

Can I do both these things on the same spur off the lighting
radial circuit? In effect making a branch with two fixtures on
it?

TIA

Yes.

There isn't really a concept of a "spur" as it's a radial circuit and there are no limits to the number or direction of branches.

Fit a local isolator to the fan as otherwise you'll have to turn off the loft light to work on the fan in the dark

Plus it's an electrical reg to fit an isolator for a fan:-)

Yup, you can split and branch anywhere you like...
