Lighting circuits (UK) are fused at 15A. If in doubt, check the fuse/MCB. Unless the 7A device is lighting, connecting it would be illegal in the UK. Don't forget anything else on the same circuit.

It depends on the rating of the circuit. Standard lighting circuits in households are typically 15 or 20 amps. If your circuit is 15 amps, then 7 amps should be fine. However, if it's a 20 amp circuit, 7 amps should still be safe but you need to be cautious about adding more loads.
