Hi guys,

I can't see a problem with this but just after some reassurance.

In my loft I'm having a boiler installed so going to put some power and lighting up there for it including a solid flooring.

I've run the upstairs ring up there for a double socket. I want to provide a spur for the boiler but instead of extending the upstairs lighting to the loft, is it bad practice to include 2x fused spurs - 1 for the boiler and one switched spur for the lighting?

The two spurs will be wired in to the ring and not as spurs...

Thanks
 
Thanks all, the reason for the question is because I stupidly forgot about the loft lighting...

Working away in the loft all day with the lead lamp on and took a long time to get the endless amount of insulation back down neatly...then I remembered! Hence the need for the FCU. Lazy I know :-/

If I need to kill the supply to the boiler ill just pop the fuse out of the FCU maintaining the lighting in the loft...
