How many 40W fluorescent lamps can an ordinary 5A button switch control at most (the control line diameter is 2.5mm)?

Electric lamp belongs to electrical equipment with calorific value. If the efficiency is "1", the maximum power can be calculated according to the formula p = u * i: p = 220v * 5v =1100w.

The current I= power P/ voltage U=40/220=0.26A (approximate value) of each lamp is based on the rated switching current 5A, and the number of lamps that can be controlled by a 40W lamp is 5/0.26= 19 (approximate value), so a 40W bulb can be controlled by 19.
