VRF Equipment fed off local Lighting Circuits

What are your thoughts with VRF Equipment being fed off local Lighting circuits – For me not good practice and strongly oppose this but i cannot find a Clause anywhere in the new Regulations. Has anyone ever come across this before or am i being too pedantic ? The VRF Units will have local isolation but for me its still a problem as you will lose your Lighting if you need to switch off at the Breaker for any reason like switching for Mechanical Maintenance.

    Sounds like some one has decided to wire up the internal fan coil units or cassettes on a heating/cooling refrigerant system from local lighting circuits


    The indoor units aren't heavily loads and provided the lighting circuit has been designed for it then probably no problem - switching off for mech maintenance could be done via a local DP fused spur


    It's pretty badger though
