A question for the electricians
What is the usual current rating for a ceiling light? Would a chandelier with 21 15w globes be out of order? (Only 1.3A by my calculation). Thanks.

Re: A question for the electricians
Your calculation is right, but it depends on what else is on that circuit and also what cable you have. A circuit in Australia is usually 10 amps.
You would be best getting someone in to check it out before you fit it.
