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.

    Is it not possible to make the installation within the void safe?


    If this is a space above a suspended ceiling what is there to stop anyone lifting a ceiling panel to access the void?


    I was in a bank in Hereford on Monday, whilst the money I was paying in was being counted there was an electrician stood on a stepladder behind the cashier with his head above the suspended ceiling undertaking some work, the bank electrical installation had not been isolated and the lights were still on, it was business as usual, working in the void is presumably not deemed potentially dangerous due to the presence of electrical cables.
