What do electricians think of bathroom heating lights?
They are the highest power devices normally connected to a lighting circuit. Many years ago I had one with a 750W heating element. Combine this with a 100W incandescent bulb and you have a device which consumes 3.7A. Two of these devices will overload a 6A lighting circuit.
Should heating lights be designed in a way to easily connect the heating element to a different circuit than that used for the light? Alternatively, should they be powered from a ring main rather than a lighting circuit?
