Don't be so silly. No of course I don't
Derrr yeah, we all know that.
Well why don't you stop being silly and actually read my post rather than criticise it?
I read it. You said a 1A FCU would negate any lighting circuit blackout. The same would apply if you put each of your lights on a 1A FCU, so why don’t you do so?

READ MY POST before you make yourself look any sillier.

Winston! I believe that Sunray was saying that a 1 Amp fuse in an FCU between lighting circuit ( 6 Amp ) and a 13 Amp style of socket would negate ( prevent ) a blackout if some one plugged a high power load into that 13 Amp style socket.

As you appear to consider the regulations to be in error then perhaps you should be contacting the people who write the regulations.
 
here will/should be a current draw limitation scheme built into the wall-wart.

We live in hope that all wall-warts are built with that in place. Many are not, some have a fusible resistor as a "fuse" that gets hot enough to melt or even ignite the plastic case before the fusible resistor goes open circuit.
