G9 capsule takes out C-BUS Wireless Switch Doh!

I recommend two C-BUS Wireless switches to my brother for
Hall/Stairs/Landing use.
Each switch has two 200W channel capacity. One channel has 3 x 40W G9
capsules on it and the other channel 1 x 40W bulb.
Everything has worked fine for a few months until one of the G9's blew
and took out the main fuse box 6A lighting circuit but seems to have
also BLOWN the Wireless unit with neither channel working.
I then thought maybe he sould have had a type-B MCB on each channel
output of each switch. This is easy to do on my 8 channel dimmer unit
in a DIN enclosure but on a switch designed for retro-fit use
replacing an existing light switch its a bit tricky.
Just wondered if anyone had an opinion on this, should he be
protecting each output with an in-line fuse, maybe in the back box if
he can fit it in? I suggested he needed something like what you get
on the back of car stereos, maybe a 1 Amp quick blow fuse?
Any ideas what I can suggest he dose?
