Is there a symbol for 5A lighting sockets

Putting together some electrical plans for a house extension, and I want to show 5amp lighting circuits for floor lamps, but I can't seem to find a standard symbol for these, to differentiate them from normal sockets. Is there a standard one?

I have seen the 13A socket outlet symbol being used with "5A" written beside it. To be honest it doesn't really matter once you have a clear legend at the side of the drawing. The legend is very important.

I've seen it done that way a number of times too.

Are you not just meant to use these?
