Recently bought studio lighting from Italy: Connector is L type sealed 3 pin 10 amp version exclusively used in Italy. The other version in use in Italy is a 16 amp version with the same 3 pin connector. I know I can strip the connector and convert to standard UK plug. Hopefully being a three pin connector I'll also find an earth wire in there somewhere, although reading these and other forums I believe even if it doesn't I can still use the equipment safely in a Standard British Plug. Perhaps someone could confirm if this advice is correct.
The actual question I'd like to ask however regards the fuse rating with or without the earth wire... I haven't had the courage yet to cut the connector off a brand new expensive studio light... but what fuse rating should I use after the conversion 10 amp?
The output of the light is rated at 70w if that's any help.
Just to add I also have two similar studio lights but these are rated at 150w the first unit has a Schuko style plug with UK adapter the second unit has a Standard British Plug both are equipped with a 13amp fuse.
Thank you in advance for any advice
Joseph
