Re: LD12 & AM12 for ceiling lights

["Alan Cockerton" <alancc@xxxxxxx>]

There are a couple of issues here, firstly a 13A socket should not be
fitted
to a lighting circuit, someone could come along and plug a heavy load into
it. Secondly the module should be accessible for maintenance etc, Campbell
put his in the loft, still a 13A though.
