Have I bought 4 of these and they all plug into the mains
https://www.NoLinkingToThis/p/lap-y...-cabinet-striplight-cool-white-9w-562mm/4012r
I have 2 questions on these and I would be very grateful for any advice received. I have tried on Google first but cant find the answer I'm looking for
1. If these are 9 W 240 V then why is the fuse inside rated as 5amp?
I thought there was a formula for this eg. halogen light 500w divided by 240v = amp size (3amp in this case)
I'm just a newbi so thats why I dont know.
Also will a qualified electrician wire these up to my light mains switch instead of having to plug them into a socket. Screwfix says no. ( But the only reason they give is will invalidate the warranty.
Thanks again for any replies in advance. I really appreciate them all
