lighting circuits - just for lights????

[jedisparks]

On a domestic lighting circuit it is not uncommon to find an extractor fan, shaver point sometimes a smoke alarm or even a doorbell transformer. Just wondered what peoples' views on this is. It's the norm for extractors and shavers I know, but they are not lights so should the CU be labelled accordingly? How about if a smoke alarm is connected to a lighting circuit or door bell transformer? Where do you draw the line and at what point is it not acceptable to connect an item of current using equipment to a lighting circuit that isn't actually a light? What has provoked this question is that a client has asked me to power a wireless heating controller via the live and neutral supply from a local light switch. It's a Honeywell evo home system, so the controller doesn't switch any loads as such, just sends and receives signals. I'm not keen on the idea, but how can I justify a possible refusal to do it - if other non-lighting products are connected. He is pretty savvy, so need decent justification without looking like a knob lol!!

Its not a lighting circuit, its a 6amp circuit that has lights, shaver points, PIR detectors, smoke alarms, fans, TV boosters, and other low-current consumers on it.
