Correct set-up for low voltage socket on lights circuit (for LED strip)?

To be clear, there is no fuse in the plug of the philips Hue LED strip, and some low voltage devices (e.g. router, wifi mesh) also don't have a fuse in the socket. This is why I thought of the FCU with the 3a fuse, I am unsure if that change your view on the potential benefit (even if minimal) of a FCU, or not?

Still no need - wallwart PSU's include built-in fuses, and/or current limitation. That, plus the 6amp MCB, provides all the over current protection needed.

If you are supplying it from a lighting circuit that is itself protected by a 6A MCB, a 3A fuse in a plug or FCU will not add anything.

BTW sockets don't have fuses.
