Replacing a fused switch socket

iMark · 23 Nov 2019

Hi all,

I want to replace the light switch which is solely used for the outside flood/security light.

Bought a fused switch which is marked as 13 amp. However, checked the fuse inside the current white socket which turns out to be 3 amp.

Do I have to buy a specific 3 amp fuse socket or can I just switch use the current 3 amp fuse in this new metal 13 amp socket? Pic attached:

Sockets are what plugs go into.

Yes, just swap the fuse.
