Fuse question
#1

Another newbie question.  I want to add an in- line fuse to a 38-12 (115v, 40w) and a  39-6 (115v, 30w).  If my math is correct, the 38-12 pulls .35 amps ( is a .5 amp fuse adequate?) and the 39-6 pulls  .26 amps (also a .5 amp fuse?).  I've seen videos where the advise was to use 1 amp fuses but will this be too high?  Also saw one where a resistor was used in series with the fuse...is this necessary?  If so, how've to figure for that?
Mom was right...no matter where you go, there will be math!
