Sockets off lighting circuit question..

[RogertheBodger]

Hang your TV on chains from your gutter, place it outside your bedroom window, plug it into an extension lead, cut the plugtop off the extension lead (to preserve your warranty), Fit BC adapter, plug into street lighting. There ... whats wrong with that? There's always another way!



Oh and dont forget to fix an umbrella to the TV in case it rains.


dont think i've forgotten anything

No sockets in the loft unfortunately. I will however be putting the TVs on lighting sockets and also fusing them just incase. Don't get me wrong I'm not happy doing this but all other avenues have been exhausted.

Surely there should be as per OSG table 8B?

it's quite possible the house was built and wired before the OSG was even thought about. come to think, most houses were.

Apparently this particular house is a new build, although it hasn't been specified exactly how new.

 

[telectrix]

if it's a new build it should be simple matter to shove a cable through the cardboard walls from the ring final under the weetabix flloor

Would be if the laminate flooring wasn't already down.
