Hi all I have 5A MCB on a lighting circuit ... I have 13 x 50w spot lights (240v) and then 3 other lights 1 has 4 x 40w bulbs and the other 2 have 3 x 40w bulbs on each ... so in total 13 x 50w and 10 x 40w bulbs (1050w) .... is this too much for 1 circuit ?????
 
1050/230 = 4.6A

So, no it isn't.

Unless any of these are fluorescent lights or similar.
