Default 5A fuse replacement in fuse box - does not quite fit...

Hi,

I recently had the 5A lighting fuse go in our household fusebox. This
fusebox takes household plug style fuses in the holders.

Except the sizes seem different. When I tried putting in a spare 5A
fuse, it was too long, and therefore did not fit. Thankfully, a
neighbour had a spare.

I want to order some of my own, but am trying to find the right ones!
I've measured the required 5A one at a length of 22mm.

Are these the ones I need? ...

Annoyingly, Maplin don't list the physical dimensions.

Thanks in advance,

Tris.
