Can you spur a light off a socket?

If you are just spurring one single or one double socket off the ring there is no need for a fused spur/fcu. If taking the new light from the lighting circuit,which is the preffered option, there is no need for a fused spur/fcu.Click to see full answer. Moreover, can I spur a socket from a light?If the existing double socket is itself on a spur off a ring circuit, then convert that existing spur to a fused spur at its origin, by means of an FCU with 13A fuse, then continue that fused spur from the socket to a second FCU fused appropriately for the lighting circuit.Furthermore, can I run a fused spur off a socket? From a fused spur you can run an unlimited number of socket outlets, as they are all protected by the 13a fuse, however, this is not feasible, or good practice in most situations , and wiring your kitchen in this way will almost certainly lead to overloading the fuse and may give rise to problems with isolating Besides, how many Spurs can I take off a socket? A spur can be connected to an existing socket, on either a ring main or a radial circuit, providing that socket does not already have a spur. That is only one spur per socket is allowed and the number of spurs must not exceed the number of sockets.Can I run a light switch from a plug socket?You need to fit a fused spur unit from the socket (if you can meet the above requirements). You will probably use 2.5 mm or above cable. You can either fit a switched fused spur unit, which will act as the light switch. Alternatively, fit an unswitched fused spur unit, THEN an oridinary light switch.
