Thanks paul C - for clarification, are you suggesting to keep the round-pin sockets and plugs, rated at 2A, but increase the fuse rating in the fuse unit (say to 3A) Ban-all-sheds also suggested 3A fuse would do - but would this not mean that the rating of the plugs and sockets was not protected...

thanks ban-all-sheds to try and fill out the details in order 1) was going to just use the switched spur unit for switching the circuit, in large part I guess as I had been thinking of a (ring) circuit from the fuse unit and couldnt work out how to switch it downstream from the fuse unit 2)...

oh, forgot to say - given your estimation of 80w lighting, that I had used 220 v as i figured that would overestimate my amperage Tickly T - without burdening you could I ask what is meant by the power factor being at right angles to reality?

Wow, those a quick responses and thanks. re the load - I have 70w made up from two lamps wiht the tiny halogen bulbs ( a 40 and a 20) and another lamp with two 5w CFLs. would probably add another larger floor lamp with a CFL of up to 20w so my calculation was watts = volts x amps solved for...

Hi, while I have the living room floor up and have added in some extra sockets on my ring main (which only serves that room) I would like to install a table lamp circuit - we use table lamps for low level lighting and I would like to be able to switch them all on and off at a single switch. So...
