  • 3A? What 700W bulb are they going to have?

    I've been sticking 1A in any lamps recently. Even a hefty low energy bulb is only 20W which will be under 0.1A

  • This bulb was my plan

    Last time I looked they were a bit unusual. If Screwfix don't list them do they really exist?

    3A and 13A are the only recognised fuses for 13A plugs. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    1A and 5A do exist but aren't, 'technically' compliant.

  • The fuse is there to protect the cable really, and even 0.5mm flex will carry 3A. Not sure of the benefit of using a 1A fuse.
