Hi All,
I am just looking at buying a floodlight and was having a look at the LED m odels now on offer (it's to be used at a camp where the energy budget is LO W (45A MCB on the main supply cable and we need to run a small PA system, h ouse lighting for a Marquee (3 x twin tube flourescents at 110W per luminai re is what i'm thinking), hopefully a (this) flood for the "stage" an urn f or tea and coffee, small water heater for the sink and basin taps, occasion al 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
Which is listed as a 20W device, but the Screwfix* details suggest fusing i t at 16A. My OHMS,s law is a little rusty, but these two figures seem inco mpatible to me (it is a 240V device).
Do these things have a huge inrush current? or are Screwfix talking nonsen se?
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.
