    The central fuse boxes only protect the house wiring. You need a lower rated fuse for individual devices. That 30A central fuse ain’t gonna protect the wiring inside your 6A lamp.

      yeah that’s what separate fuses for separate branches of circuit are for, all in one central box because where else are these supposed to be. if your lamp is wired with 6A-rated wire then that branch should be fused with 6A fuse, which on its own is unhinged because usually much thicker wires are used anyway
