I have three of those fittings in the link (two switched together & a third on its own switch) on a 6A MCB with other lighting and never had a tripping issue.

I'm hardly surprised. Without looking up the chapter and verse, I would suspect that it would take a (very brief) inrush of at least 20A to trip a B6. On some circuits, I have umpteen (simultaneously switched) LED lamps running off one B6, and have never known it to trip on switch-on.

Kind Regards, John

I'm inclined to agree that the tone of your post which started this was probably less than ideal.

Saying "errmm" and showing that he'd already said "do {something}" before the OP asked "So I can do {something}" ?

Really?

Certainly not new in terms of duration of membership and, I suppose, just about 'a contributor' - 111 post in 7 years, of which only about 80 have been since the end of 2011 (i.e. about 1.3 posts/month and 1 post/month respectively).

It's completely irrelevant how often i post on the forum, but thanks for breaking it down into monthly totals. I work full time and have a home life, forums come down the pecking order of priorities and spending all day building up my post count is not important to me.

And i'll remind you of this :-

This is why so many long standing contributors no longer bother and only dip in occasionally, when threads get highjacked with arguments and off topic rants and degenerate into many pages of pointless squabble.
