Hi,
Hoping you can help me (as the instructions don't aren't) with the following......
The installation of 2 or 3 (not sure yet) halogen downlights (each fitted with a 50W bulb) fed by a spur from the sole existing lights circuit is intended, which is currently protected by a 6-amp fuse at the mains box.
The instruction leaflet states: "A light fitting should be connected to a lighting circuit protected by a-5 amp fuse. If a light fitting is to be connected to a ring main, a fused connection unit fitted with a 3-amp fuse should be installed"
So (if what is planned were done) would that constitute having connected to the "lighting circuit", or connecting to a "mains ring"?
Also, the instuctional requirements only appear to be being stated for a single light.......not for a set of them.
What size of fuse would be needed for a circuit isolator "fused connection unit" for 2 (and for 3) such lights for this spur-feed setup?
Will the 6-amp fuse currently fitted at the mains box for the lighting ring circuit still be sufficient for this additional power draw, or will it need to be altered (and if so, to what)?
Thank you in advance....
