You'd have a dedicated outlet on a dedicated circuit for the TIG welder. In North America, that dedicated outlet would have a different physical plug shape than your lamp, so as to avoid confusion. Of course, if in the UK you use exactly the same plug shape for both lamp and welder, I can see how that could be unsafe...


Yes, but in America you have a lot of electrical fires, and in the UK, we don't.
