Hi. I want to add 2 undercupboard striplights in my kitchen, the ones that plug into the ring main. We don't have many sockets spare though.
There is a fused connection unit already in there, but it isn't used (i think it was for the old security light outside the window)It is already wired in but with no fuse in it
The fuse slot says use a 13amp
My question is, can I wire these lights directly into the ring main via this fused unit, if so what fuse should I use (presumably whatever fuse was in the plug attached to the lights when I bought it) and if it takes a lesser fuse than 13amp, is it ok to put say, a 5amp fuse in the fused socket marked 13amp?
Hope that makes sense
