Fusing of LED floodlights
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 *I'd much rather have gone to the local Wholesale Fittings,but they seem to have died, I don't know if Screwfix having arrived on the trading estate a couple of years ago was the cause of this. Mind you, having had a look at their website, unless they are doing very nicely with traditional business from their account customers, I can't see them lasting much longer at all. But perhaps they don't want business from the likes of me. |
