Question

If you were designing a circuit for a reading lamp, would you include a fuse, a circuit breaker, or neither?

Answer 1

If it were being plugged into the 120v AC line, neither, unless i were ultraconservative. In that case, i would include a fuse.

.

Answer 2

Neither if you are just taking a spur of the plug circuit which would be best,

Answer 3

Neither.

For your information, mains plugs in the U.K. are fitted with fuses.  

Although fuses for them are available in ratings of 2, 3, 5 and 10A they are sold with a 13A fuse ready fitted.  (Quite stupid.)
