The amp fuse is used to protect the wiring specifically. The appliances and in this case the LED lights do not affect the type of amp fuse. The fuses are affected by the load on the wiring. It is advisable to also have a higher-rated fuse to keep the fuse from melting prematurely. ..

How to determine the required amp rating

The amp fuse is chosen by dividing the wattage of the light by the input voltage. The amps calculated are then increased by 20% to get the range required for that light. ..

-Amp fuses can be used in the event of a power surge to protect the led light strips from the power surges -Amp fuses can also be used in other strip applications such as protecting other strips in case of a short circuit

Internal lighting

This includes Christmas light strings, led light strips, and the different designs of led bulbs. The led bulbs have fuses set in the house circuits are high since they cater for a lot of appliances, they range from 15A and can go to above 30A if the building is large and fully fitted. The led light strips are mostly connected to a power supply unit or battery and will need the fuse as a precautionary measure much like phone cases with phones, you will need to check the wattage on the light strip and divide it by the input voltage and multiply it by 1.2. Most of the fuses range between 1A, 2A & 3A. Then we have the light strings mostly used in festivities most notably Christmas, Easter, and Halloween. Depending on the number of strings you set up you might run a simple 1A fuse and if you decide to light your whole house up, you’ll find that you have to use the 5A fuse.

Outdoor lighting

In outdoor lighting, a lot of consideration is put into how much light you want and avoiding instances of light pollution. The fuse should be slightly higher to allow you to add more appliances, but not too high such that it cannot protect the circuit in case of a surge. Unless in extreme cases an amp of 5A is sufficient as it can support up to 600W and a lighting string uses 1A while a decking uses up to 10A. It can also help you restrain yourself and avoid instances where you are a cause of light pollution.

Car lights

Led lights on cars can be placed in different places, be it the overhead light bar, low beams on the cars hood, their interiors, light strips used for underflow, puddle lights and so much more. Led bulbs and lighting strips have different uses in the car with the led bulbs being used indoors, headlights, and indoor lighting. As for the led strips used mainly as underglow lights you should do the math, if your strip has 20 bulbs each at 1A then its wattage is 20A. This multiplied by the number of strips, say 4 gives you 80A. Divided by the battery’s voltage, say 14.5 volts, gives you roughly 5.5A then multiplied by 1.2 to get 6.6A. This means you can comfortably use a 7.5A fuse for your setup

CONCLUSION

There are many different types of led lights setups, and the type of fuse you use on them should be chosen based on the load to protect the wiring and prevent fires or melting. The fuses also should be chosen after careful consideration and calculations have been done. In cases where a pre-installed fuse blows up and is found to have been of a lower rating will mean that you should change it for a higher rating.

There are a few ways to change your led string fuse. You can try changing the fuse in the light bulb, or you can replace the entire light bulb.

To replace a blown fuse in a light fixture:

  1. Unplug the light fixture.
  2. Remove the cover on the back of the fixture.
  3. Locate and remove the four screws that hold the lighting strings in place.
  4. Gently pull out the lighting strings, being careful not to twist them.
  5. Replace the blown fuse with a new one by pushing it into place and screwing it in by hand (or using a Phillips head screwdriver).
  6. Replace the cover and screws on the back of the fixture. ..

Do led lights have a fuse?

The power supply unit you will connect it with is not needed.

Yes, it is possible to power your LEDs from your car’s fuse box.

The new Tesla Model S is a sleek and powerful car, but it might need total rewiring to ensure the performance of the car is not affected in any way. ..
