smoke alarm in existing circuit

[NadHuh]

Basically I want to install a new circuit for smoke alarm in a property, there is a old fuse board the one with they rewire able pull out fuses, so can I just take a supply from the lighting circuit from the fuse board?

Often done that way.

Nowt wrong with that, label on cu accordingly

if wiring back to the board though I would add a seperate circuit and use a push in wylex mcb myself, assuming it is a wylex board which it probably is, it seems daft to just double up on a lighting 3036 fuse, just can't see the point myself unless there are no spare ways.

At least if the lights are working you know the smokes still are too if they're doubled up

 

[NadHuh]

Thanks guys and yes there are no spare ways
