Hello all, scouring the internet for answers, but just can't seem to find anything! Imagine it's very simple, but any info would be appreciated.
I did a refurb of my flat a couple of years ago, including full re-wire. I'd requested a couple of 5A round pin sockets so I could connect lamps directly to the lighting circuit and dim them from the main switches. If relevant, everything is LED.
Just bought a table lamp that comes with a "normal" plug. Trying to figure out which of the following options is safe/doable/best)
1. Remove 13A plug and wire in a 5A unfused 3 round pin plug.
2. Use an adapter like the below. Advantage is that if at a later date I wanted to move lamp and plug into a normal socket, I still have the normal plug and wouldn't need to change back. Would I have to change the plug fuse for a 5A one? Remove the fuse altogether? Neither, and just plug and play?
