I'm not sure if the question is asking if 15A GPO's are common for domestic use because the 15A plug (or is it a moulded plug plus flex?) is all Annabella can obtain. I would have thought the 10A plug would be alot easier to get. Is it because it's assumed 1.5mm cable is required? .75mm should be adequate for any sort of domestic portable light...is a 10A plug available with .75mm?
The answer to the original question is generally no. Inside a house the only likely place you see them is for an air conditioner. In a garage or workshop you might see one for a welder, but for run of the mill domestic appliances, 10A GPO's are standard.
The 10A plug will fit a 15A socket but not the other way round.
