Hi.

Is there anywhere local that sells fuses for British plugs, when they go out?

Thanks,

Deborah

Probably your best chance is in finding a fused travel adapter and nicking the fuse from that, they do exist. 

Honestly though just change the damn plug for a Spanish one!

Hi Deborah

I will check to see if I have any and I am going to be in the Montesinos area on Monday if you want to pick a couple up off me?

PM me if you still have a need and I can arrange to meet.

Hope it helps

Thanks. But the bulb and plug are one unit, for a salt lamp...

Hi Deborah

you mention having a salt lamp, may I ask you have you discovered any health benefits with one? I have been intrigued by them but don't know if they are worth having. I think I saw fuses in Carrefour on their electric bulbs department.

I you can't find any before, and are willing to come to Rafal for a coffee next Thursday, I could let you have one 5 amp and two 3 amp fuses.

I have also heard about the health benefits. I just like the atmosphere they create :-)

Hi Deborah,  I am presuming here that the fuse in question has ruptured ( blown ).If so, then have you any idea why it blew ? 

If there is a fault on the appliance it protects, then the fuse will again 'blow' when replaced,  and you will be back to square one

Oh, thanks.

Just the lightbulb. I tried replacing that and the new bulb didn't work, so next attempt will be the fuse :-)

My last option, if a new fuse doesn't work, is to get another salt lamp.
