If I was to wire four 60w bulbs to one plug via a 'chock block', what amp fuse should I put in the plug?

100 amp

 

House fuse is a 100 amp, I'll steal one from the neighbours electric meter. Belting.

just a standerd 13 amp pal nout bigger so if out fucks up it will blow

 

you should have a RCD if its a rented place anyway which will trip

got a special 45amp with neon from screwfix, £12.39, the dragons can have a disco at the neon light,

Quick google says 3 is enough.

 

Each bulb pulls 0.45 amps.

13amp sockets

 

6amp lights

You work out your amps by dividing your watts by your volts so 240 watts divided by 240 volts

See, you get nobs saying stuff you learn at school is pointless, then you remember gems like these.

Apart from unlike when we were at school, it's now 230V rather than 240V, and it's the power law rather than straightforward Ohm's Law (V=IR) otherwise, yes.

P=VI, like EG says. Ohm's is resistance.
