can anyone tell me what amp fuse should be in the plug of a basic dawn to

Generally, you'd divide the wattage by the voltage of the
lights, and round up to the nearest integer.


In the US, (where you probably aren't, since you're talking
about fused plugs) a typical set up is two 75 watt floods,
at 110V, so 2 amps.

oh dear!
I am in UK. There may be 2 amp fuses but I haven't heard of them in common
use. Think it must be different over here. The plugs are 13 amp and
sometimes they have a 5 amp fuse and sometimes a 13 amp. Thanks for your
reply though I think I might have to look in the uk groups???




If you are still looking for information try uk.d-i-y This group is
primarily US and Canada. The wiring in the UK is different to a
surprising degree.
