VRF Equipment fed off local Lighting Circuits

Eddie Currents
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.

    That's correct re VRF Units. They are around 100watts ea. I think the key word is maintainability. I wouldnt be happy if an engineer turns up on site and has to isolate the lighting when working on the VRF unit just because they are wired on the same circuit even if the VRF Unit has a DP Isolator, I think it's not good practice for the sake of another circuit being installed. For me they should be seperate circuits.
