[QUOTE="Rob_the_rich, post: 416448, member: 8419"] I was looking for the 10A limit and couldn't find any in byb or osg, perhaps something to do with standard circuit or cable sizes, dunno, can't find it, my bad. But the ceiling roses and the switches in domestic are usually rated at 6A aren't they? I know it depends on the loads downstream of the fittings, if you were switching more than 6A alarm bells might ring, but in the first ceiling rose of a lighting circuit, the loop terminals could get a roasting if 16A were going through it. There wouldn't be any through wiring in the terminals of B15, B22 etc lamp holders (unless it is designed for it 559.5.3.1), so the 16A must just be part of the standard for those fittings. [/QUOTE]
