Hardwire speaker to lightning circuit bad idea?

[Alexcc]

Hi

i am installing a sonos wireless speaker to my bathroom.  I found the junction box with the lighting circuit located behind the access panel on the ceiling and I am thinking of hardwiring the speaker using an 3amp fused switch . http://www.screwfix.com/p/mk-13a-dp-switched-fused-connection-unit-with-flex-outlet-white/13479

The speaker is rated at 1amp, it has humity proofing and will be installed in 

Alternatively, I could install a secondary socket from a nearby wall socket. But this is more labour intensive and will require tracing  2mtrs of cable through the wall. 

Do you see any problems connecting it to the lightning circuit?

Using the lighting circuit is not a problem Alex, but there are strict regulations concerning electrics in bathrooms that we have to relate to . 

If you Google  " Safe zones in bathrooms "   you will get an idea of whether the siting of your spur and any other electrical is OK .

As an old Phart I don't really know what a sonos speaker is but have  a look at the zones  before you plough on .

Many thanks for the quick response. 

I should have mentioned - it is off zone 2 (i.e more than 0.7m away from bathtub above the bathroom door)

Thats sounding OK  ...so what is a sonos speaker ?

SONOS is a wireless speaker system. It supports listening to music in different rooms with only an app on your smartphone or computer.

The Play:1 is the smaller speaker in the series. It has two build in amps one tweeter and one mid-woofer, and it is humidity protected.
