Shower lighting

[young sparky]

Hi all, found this site very useful before so Thot I'd use your knowledge again lol,
Have to wire a light into a shower, have a light, ip44 gu10 downlighter and the customer is wanting it to come on when he pulls the pullcord for the shower.
Was just going to come out of the load side of the shower pullcord to a fused spur then into the light, don't think there is anything wrong with this but just checking before hand

On a related topic, i did a test today, that the previous owner of the house was a qualified electrician, and he had wired a 1G socket in 2.5mm from the input of the shower circuit (6mm) and it was all protected my a 40a MCB. Nice.......and now disconnected!

I found a similar thing in a SCHOOL, idiot gym teacher wanted his laptop powered in the changing room and did this to a socket (I promise) without any back box whatsoever!!!

I removed it and the next day he said 'I see you found my socket' I said 'please stick to ping pong'

I reported the whole escapade (in writing)to the head teacher and was promised that the fool would have a written warning to compliment his CV.

I also found, no main earth, not unless you include the 10mm from the head to the gas, then the water, then to the board! all non continuous of course!
