Ceiling lighting.

[Toolbox]

I needed a loft light so I reversed my ceiling light in the spare room so I know that the loft light is safe enough,however I have now wall mounted
a small tv in the spare room and feed the power from the ceiling light feed
also had to fit small aerial amp to get a stronger signal again from the same feed..????How safe is this

What do you mean by reversing the light? And are you saying that you are running a TV and an aerial booster on a lighting circuit?

It’s not as the TV could cause the supply to lights to trip.
Running a smoke alarm, bathroom fan and shaver socket are the only items one would consider running from a lighting supply.
Yes I know my Gran use to plug the iron into the lights in the days before the 13 amp socket but we have progressed from those days.

Yes,I am running TV,Loft light and aerial amp off Lighting circuit.My
concern is circuit tripping overheating/fire.It seemed a easy option to use
the lighting circuit.
Thanks for the input.

Words fail me, and I'm not even an electrician.

I understand what you've done as far as ease and convenience goes.
But you could do with getting your appliances off the lighting circuit if you can find a way that you are comfortable with.
Lighting circuits are really only for lights and a small number of low wattage appliances, i.e. smoke alarms, extractor fans, shaver sockets, TV amplifer/splitter perhaps, and even then with the correct connections, an FCU with the correct fuse fitted, etc.
