Tapping a lighting circuit for a spur?

[exposed]

1550 W is typically too much to add to a regular lighting circuit.

It may be that your wardrobe light is fed from the sockets circuit somehow, so more investigation needed.

Are you sure you want this thing?

I'll look at it tomorrow, there is a socket i can tap, but it would mean ripping up carpet and floor to get the cable in the right place. I looked at the wras site but it seems it only talks about hoses and feeds that come from either dedicated lines or from the bath/shower. these tap into into the cysten fill feed.

Am I sure I want one? absolutely.. they are bathroom changing and the only reason I havent already bought one back from Japan is that I have only had the house 6 months, before that I was renting.

1500watts ish is about 3 amps.

I think you might want to check your maths there!

1500watts ish is about 3 amps. That’s about half the capacity of the usual domestic lighting circuit.
I would not put a load that high on a lighting circuit. Better to spur off a ring final/socket circuit.

I note that the loo comes with its own RCD, and comes with a plug. There’s a hint as to the power source for you, but note that you aren’t allowed a socket in a bathroom.

Whatever the connection would be is going to be located on the opposite side of the wall in the wardrobe, so that should be ok. For the lighting, the entire house is philips hue, so the bulbs are around 11w each, but I would prefer a socket connection if possible.

There are water regulations that apply to that sort of toilet

Read about them here

Guess how many mentions of either WRAS or Water Regulations there are on the washloo website.

Is it

a. Less than one
b. Zero
c. None
d. All of the above

Same rules apply.

Unless it has an air-gapped cistern inside the unit - which it may have - then you need one externally.

This is the solution to the toilet roll crisis we had in 2020..
And it's also got a remote control

Beat me to it! I was going to ask if you had a choice of colours.

I do wonder if maintenance of these will become a hated thing like many are with macerators, e.g. spares etc.

Reminds me of the chap who used one of these things in a hotel. The buttons were labelled with Japanese legends,

He pressed the button labelled 生理用ナプキンを取り除く and woke up in hospital,

I wish you hadnt used the word macerator in the context of an accessory like this.
