Following on from Chris in #11, you often see 3A and 5A fittings used for lamps and other ambience - related items in places like restaurants and public houses. Instances seem to be becoming more common, almost like a revival of what many would see as vintage or outmoded technology. I suppose an added advantage is that it gets around the irritation of people putting 13A fuses into 13A plugs regardless of what the correct rating should be.
