I am looking at broadband and one or two other bits and pieces.
In the loft I have 2 3A switched fused spurs off the upstairs lighting

I am likely to need 3/4 supplies up the
Network switch
Router/modem
TV splitter
A N Other

Will one 3A feed supply two of these?

I was running a WiFi access point, 8 port switch and a 800mz computer
off of a 3A spur off the lights, it worked.
That should be a comparable load to the above.

If so, can I hard wire a 2 gang extension into each of the spurs and label
them clearly "for ???? use only"?

Personally I wouldn't hard wire, I'd just put a 4way in on a normal 13A
plug off one of the spurs....

Surely if someone tried to plug a kettle in(?) anyway, it would simply
result in a blown fuse?

.... I'd think as long as you labled the fused spur "3A ONLY", you'd be
ok. I don't think you'd need both spurs, I would consider getting rid
of one of them. If you have 2 x 3A spurs running at full whack you
could overload/blow/trip the 6A lighting circuit.

I'm not qualified - but I seem to recall being given this advice by
someone who was.
