OK that was freaky - how did you know I was talking about a 2amp plug ? :shock:

I searched this site and found this I assume you must never use too small a cable but my question is does it matter if you ever use too big a cable? For example can you use 2.5mm T&E on a lighting circuit assuming all fused properly? Thanks

I have a reply from Micromark Technical :D "Thank you for your recent e-mail, you can connect the light your way if you wish,the reason that we say to use a fused spur is so you can isolate the lights should you ever need to carry out any work on them and of course you cannot put a fused...

Hi Guys! Found a 2a round pin plug top with fuse by MK but only one online UK supplier via Malaysia. Is it not normal in the UK? http://www.mkelectric.co.uk/products/item.asp?itemid=3224&rangeid=1037

I have emailed Micromark technical to ask them for their reasoning. If 5amps is too much then I will tackle wiring a spur between the 2a socket and the light fittings as you say.

These look very strange - do you think I should be changing the 2amp round pin plug sockets for these?

I would connect the flex to the terminal block on the light, then out through the grommet at the back. Then I would pin the flex to the wall and connect the other end directly to the 3 pin round 2 amp plug. I don't need to chase any wires behind walls because most of it will be behind a...

Thanks for all that great information! Your link did go straight to the same instructions that I have in the packet. My electrical installation is quite old although probably quite special when it was new. There are no ceiling lights in the lounge, just these cute 2 amp plugs for lamps...

The little 2 amp plug tops have no fuses - and I use them with normal lamps. I have no idea why the new Micromark lamps say do not fit to lighting socket - I thought you had the answer because the lighting is probably 6amp and they want maybe 3amp - although they don't say that either...

It's called Micromark Radius GU10 Mains Voltage Double Spotlight MM19017 (2 x 35W)

Oh. :oops: I would still like to use the 2 amp plug top to activate the lights from the wall switch. Is there an in-line spur that can go between them? Or can I wire the 2 lights into a 3 amp fused spur then straight back out of the spur to a 2 amp plug top? Also, I'd like to...

Thanks Gavin The consumer unit is an old type with chunky fuses behind a plastic plate. I cannot tell which one is for the lights - so I will have to try them separately. I assume I pull them out (I've never done that before - my last place had up and down switches on each circuit which...

I have 2 micromark gu10 main voltage halogen (35w) double spotlights to use indoors (even though they can go outdoors) Can I attach a 3 wire cable to them and then to a 2-Amp 3-Pin Round Plug so that I can operate them from the light switch? I currently use 2 lamps via that little 3 pin...

well that's the first time an emoticon made me jump - I was really quite scared :shock: thanks for telling me the name of the offending part of the wall - this is progress for me the joints are quite thin all along the gaps between the big coping stones. If sand and cement is too...

Along a long run of coping stones the pointing/joints are shrinking away and a little bit crumbly. I intend to have the coping stones replaced next year but meanwhile there is a slight leak into the room below this terrace wall. How can I make an effective temporary repair to these joints...
