    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED_circuit

    Simple LED (Light Emitting Diode) circuit diagram. In electronics, an LED circuit or LED driver is an electrical circuit used to power a light-emitting diode (LED). The circuit must provide sufficient current to light the LED at the required brightness, but must limit the current to prevent damaging the LED.

  5. Ring circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_circuit

    The ring circuit is still the most common mains wiring configuration in the UK, although both 20 A and 30 A radial circuits are also permitted by the Wiring Regulations, with a recommendation based on the floor area served (20 A for area up to 25 m 2, 30 A for up to 100 m 2).

  6. Light switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_switch

    In these systems light switches control lighting contactors, a relay that allows the manual light switch to operate on a lower current, with smaller wiring than would be required in the main lighting circuit. In the UK, putting 13-ampere BS 1363 sockets on a lighting circuit is discouraged (although not outright prohibited), but 2-ampere or 5 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets:...

    Although still permitted by the UK wiring regulations, BS 546 sockets are no longer used for general purposes. The type D 2 amp and 5 amp plugs are mainly used for lighting such as table lamps. Some of the type D and M varieties remain in use in other countries and in specialist applications in the UK such as stage lighting for the type M.
