Hi all,
I recently refurbished an anglepoise lamp for a friend of mine - it needed a new push switch at the back of its head along with a new bayonet lamp-holder - what was in there was a bit of a horror story:
The replacement switch I bought was one of these: http://www.diy.com/departments/bq-bl.../178021_BQ.prd
...and on the packaging it stated that the switch was rated for 2 amps. Currently I have a 3A fuse fitted in the plug - but I'm going to order a 2A, possibly even a 1A. My question is this, though: why would they sell a 2A lamp switch when it's all but impossible to buy 1A* and 2A fuses on the high street..? Am I being overly cautious, or is a 1A/2A fuse a sensible proposition..?
Ta!
Wal.
*EDIT 1A found on the High Street...Last edited by Wal; 18-05-2017 at 01:54 PM.
