Table lamps and 5amp round pin plugs

[craig1912]

Just bought some new table lamps (which came with normal fused plugs mounded on).

I want to use them with 5amp round pinned plugs which aren't fused.

Any issues? Just worried that there are no fuses but I guess if there were any issue the circuit breaker would trip?

Cheers

Ok cheers- I'm sure it will as appt is less than 3 years old, but will check anyway.
Thanks

They are actually these

and no they haven't died out- the apartment is only three years old and they link to a dimmer light switch on the wall.

The light base is metal but cable has no earth.

However for some reason they aren't working- you touch the base to turn them on and then touch to dim. I can hear a click but the bulb doesn't light. Not sure if it's a combination of a dimmer switch on the wall and a dimmer in the lamp??
