Okay, but any sensible person would replace like for like. You could

That works on the assumption that most people are sensible.

There are many who would happily keep trying the next larger size fuse

So all appliances are designed to be safe with a 13 amp fuse? The
flex on the lamp I bought from John Lewis does not look to me that it
could carry 13 amps but I could be wrong. I won't be trying it out.
