[QUOTE="nicebutdim, post: 561738, member: 38404"] Issue here is that you now have someone trying to get out of a loft in the dark, with a better chance than before of breaking their neck in the process. Using the upstairs lighting circuit for an aerial booster is certainly very common, but not something I'm generally comfortable with. I can see why it happened as an addition on older properties, but there's no reason for doing this in new builds as its poor design. 99 times out of 100 it's a double socket that gets fitted, without any form of labelling, leaving a convenient outlet.
