Add a shaver socket and LE mirror in a shower room

I would like to install a shaver socket and an LED mirror in my shower room.

(Just for info, this is a new-build house)

There is a stud wall with a double standard power socket in line with where we would want the socket so that part should be easy, even for me. At least it is between the same 2 Vertical joists.

Is it possible/allowable to spur the LED Mirror and shaver socket from the power socket?

(Again for info, the mirror and shaver socket would have to separate as we couldn't find a combined set that we agreed upon!)

As I'm new to this I'm not quite sure if you need some specs to give a true answer, If you do need more info I can provide it.

Many Thanks in advance,

Kevan

  • Yes, but the site does make it clear, "Not Suitable for installation in bathrooms or washrooms".

    I have a bathroom type in my dressing room. With its enclosure it looks like a brick stuck to the wall. :-(

    Not that I need it - I haven't shaved since the first Gulf War, when there was a gas threat!

    I use the shaver socket in my bathroom (combined with an over-mirror lamp, not as posh as Mike's) for my toothbrush.

    So does a toothbrush charger (Class II) need to be protected in the same way as a shaver, or hair tongs, etc?

  • Northern Brazil is a bit mixed

    Yes, but it is not safe to assume that all sockets in the south are 110 V. IIRC, as with BS 546 plugs, there are plugs with different ratings, so they may be bigger in the south than the north.

    I am not quite sure how people who move about cope.

    With a bag of adaptors and some small tools ;-) Oh and if you intend to move around into 110V land, everything you buy needs to be dual voltage, either automatically or manually switched .

    Brazil is an example of how not to do it well,  as although there are 10A and 20A versions of the 'new' socket both are permitted and found on both voltages so you can quite easily plug things into the wrong system.
    There it seems most folk have learnt to read the voltage ratings on things, and if they don't, then the 'rebobiner'- the motor rewind and transformer sales outfits, are kept busy on the borders where the 2 systems meet. Actually it is the south (more German and Italian speaking settlers I guess )  who mostly use 230 ish, and the bit nearer the USA (well really from about Sao Paulo and heading north) who are more likely to be 110. However Brazil is a happy-go-lucky sort of place, and electricity is quite a long way down the list of unsolved problems .
    Mike.


  • Let's not forget that Brasil is the world's 5th biggest country.

    Some of us remember when UK televisions had settings for different voltages, and even DC.
