Hi there, I hope you can help me please.

I have ordered some Hive smart lights. Tech specs of these are here: Hive Active Light - Cool to Warm White Smart Light Bulb - Tech Specs | Hive Home - https://www.hivehome.com/products/hive-active-light-cool-to-warm-white/tech-specs

In short they need a 240v power supply.
Power Consumption: 9W
Operating Voltage: 220-240V
Energy Rating: A+

My apartment (in the UK) has sockets (round plugs) which are controlled by a light switch. I believe the fuse in these is 5a.

Would these lights work with that? To my knowledge they have a 240v supply, but I wanted to double check.

If it helps, the sockets look like:

Thanks in advance for your help,

Yes they would work fine, however, they do not remember the last brightness setting they were on, when turned on they will fully illuminate like a normal light until dimmed with the app
 
Ah perfect, thanks for letting me know.

So are the 'round' plug sockets 240v too? It's a modern conversion so not old wiring :)

Thanks for your help,

yes. the design of these sockets which are on the lighting circuit is so that nobody can plug in heavier loads, such as heaters or vacuum cleaners, which would overload the circuit.
