Adding lights on a 6A circuit type B

[gracekel]

A lighting circuit run off a 6A type B with 30 LED Bulbs of 10 watts each, we are thinking of adding 6 additional LED Floodlight of 30 Watts each, can we use the same 6A circuit /. 1.0 mm cable(3 cores) used on installation

can the connection be made from he point where the existing lamps are connected(make a bridge)

I don't see a massive issue, even with 480w on a lighting circuit it is just over 2A.

OK thanks, my worry was that the LED lights are 10w equivalent to 50watts and flood lights 30watts equivalent to 200watts
I was looking at the equivalent rather than the original watts units

 

[Spark123]

The equivalent is usually the light output. A normal 50w halogen lamp will output a lot of heat (which is where the power loss is) whereas an LED will not give out anywhere near as much heat.
They may consume slightly more than what they say on the tin but nothing to be worried about.

thanks a lot, will go ahead
