Hello all!
Planning my first LED build and since I´m quite paranoid about electricity, have come up with a few questions. Most builds don´t seem to mention adding a fuse to the input side of the driver, but for instance Timber has one installed. It would seem easier for me to install a circuit breaker in a little box on the wall, between the power outlet and the lamp.
Would it be just as good of does a fuse have some advantages? Is it a bad idea to use the circuit breaker as a on/off switch as needed?
Looking for components in a store I found a power strip with surge protection AND a 16A fuse, would using this to power up my lamp be just as safe? That would be so easy.
Thank you for your time!
