Hi. I've bought a fishtank pump for our little tank and 2 g/fish. The plug for this pump is fitted with a 15 amp fuse. The cable wasn't long enough so I've added a few feet using an old table lamp switch. The pump consumes 2.6W and I'm using the original plug. Is the light switch ok to use with a 15 amp 'circuit' ?
Thanks.
Arthur
Its not a problem, the electrics will only pass 2.6w, but would be better practice to use a 2A or 3A fuse.

Are you _sure_ it's 15 amp? Not 1.5 amps? Even 13 would be more likely.

its a shark tank the size of 5 olympic swimming pools?
Are you sure this (new?) pump was fitted with a 13A fuse? Table lamp cable or not, I suggest you use a 1A, 2A or 3A fuse.
Boiled fish isn't nice.

I prefer steamed
