Generally, you'd divide the wattage by the voltage of the
lights, and round up to the nearest integer.

In the US, (where you probably aren't, since you're talking
about fused plugs) a typical set up is two 75 watt floods,
at 110V, so 2 amps.

oh dear!
I am in UK. There may be 2 amp fuses but I haven't heard of them in common
use. Think it must be different over here. The plugs are 13 amp and
sometimes they have a 5 amp fuse and sometimes a 13 amp. Thanks for your
reply though I think I might have to look in the uk groups???

Use the smallest available fuse that exceeds the draw of the lamps.
If the choice is 5 or 13, go with 5. (it is unlikely that
a household security light would be eating more than 1100 watts.)

If you are still looking for information try uk.d-i-y This group is
primarily US and Canada. The wiring in the UK is different to a
surprising degree.
