Hi All,

I am just looking at buying a floodlight and was having a look at the LED
models now on offer (it's to be used at a camp where the energy budget is
LOW (45A MCB on the main supply cable and we need to run a small PA system,
house lighting for a Marquee (3 x twin tube flourescents at 110W per
luminaire is what i'm thinking), hopefully a (this) flood for the "stage" an
urn for tea and coffee, small water heater for the sink and basin taps,
occasional use of twin hob Baby Belling sytle cooker and George Forman type
grill(s). Even with diversity, I think it's going to be tight!).

Anyways, i've just been having a look at

http://www.screwfix.com/p/xq-lite-20...ght-240v/10988

Which is listed as a 20W device, but the Screwfix* details suggest fusing it
at 16A. My OHMS,s law is a little rusty, but these two figures seem
incompatible to me (it is a 240V device).

Do these things have a huge inrush current? or are Screwfix talking
nonsense?

TIA

Chris

Screwfix page says MAX fusing 16A.
I recently installed a 50W led floodlight. That works quite happily from a
switched fused spur (fcu) with a 1A fuse.
FWIW, the 50W floodlight looks very similar to the Screwfix 20W item. From
ebay the 50W cost less inc. p+p than the one you are looking at.
HTH
