Hi there I was hoping someone would be able to provide a piece of advice. I have an Ikea lamp with dimmer switch and the fuse has went in the switch. Removed and checked with Ohm meter. It is a small ceramic fuse and has the wording T1H250V on it but the only equivalent I can see in the UK is T1AH250V can some tell me if this would be a like for like replacement. I have scrutinised the fuse with a magnifying glass and there is no letter 'A' present. I noticed when I google this that I can see the fuse number but all USA sites. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Help me find a replacement ceramic fuse numbered T1H250V ple

"A" is proberly just short for amp as it seems like a 1amp fuse
T means it is a time delay anti surge fuse, proberly your lamp has a start surge on switching on.
However they come in various lenghts 20mm and 32mm most common
A majority of these are High Breaking Capacity ceramic fuses.
250V is the maximum voltage of the circuit it can be used on
I would try it, its possible a new fuse may blow, if the lamps knackered and thats what blew the original.
So shelling out on one from USA seems pointless

T1H250V is the same as T1AH250V. It is strange that the A is missing in your fuse though.
The H stands for high breaking capacity which is why the fuse body is ceramic.
What is the size of the fuse? If it is 5 x 20mm then it is probably an IEC type fuse. If it is 6.3mm x 32mm then it probably is a UL type fuse and will have different breaking or opening characteristics.
Are there any other markings on the fuse?

Thanks for both responses I appreciate it. It's a 5 x 20 fuse and no other markings on it except the BS kitemark, CCC W and the word jet. i understand what you said re blowing again. That's not a problem I'll just ditch it if this is the case. At least I know what fure to buy to replace this..thank you very much i really appreciate the response..

Put a new lamp in as well.
Yeah will do. The lamp went so I'm not sure if this is what tripped the fuse.. thanks again. Appreciated..
I was refering to the fitting rather than the lamp/ bulb, id try the cheap fuse with no lamp/ bulb in to make sure it dont blow, before shelling out for a dear lamp.
What lamp/bulb is it by the way, you are using the original type lamp and not an an incompatible lamp/bulb with the dimmer are you
Very timely ... so much for the people who, in another current thread, seem to be (yet again!) ignoring, and/or disagreeing with, my belief that the 'new' use of the word 'lamp' (running concurrently with the 'old' meaning) can, and does, introduce ambiguity and confusion
Kind Regards, John
Maybe Bas was having a little humorous dig.
He seems to have had a good sense of humour lately

Just pondering my reply given your other oft-stated position regarding changes in usage of words, and wondering how best to explore the apparent inconsistency between what you say about the "meaning" of "lamp", and what you have said about the meaning of "mayoress", or "electrocution", to pick just two examples.
On that link it says
"and moveable lamps have a plug"
How does that work
"and moveable lamps have a plug"

So it does.
When I CBA I'll dig out my Wikipedia logon details and change that so that it is consistent with the 4th sentence after it:
In technical terminology, the lamp is the light source, what is typically called the light bulb.

I reckon that is close to QED for me
Language is about effective and unambiguous communication. The above exchange surely indicates that what has been done to the use/meaning of the word "lamp" has undermined that principle?Kind Regards, John
