bigears Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 hicould anyone in the know tell me how to wire in a couple of fluorescentlights which are to be placed above mirrors above our bathroom sinks.They also have a socket for a shaver/toothbrush/hairdryer incorporatedin them. Do they go on their own circuit/fuse or can they go into asocket circuit or a lighting circuit? I cannot see it in my frenchelectricity book.

Théière Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Shaver/toothbrush is via an isolating transformer for safety so it can go on the wiring for lighting, however as soon as you mentioned hair dryer (2000) watts it would have to go on a power circuit.

Northender Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I would say an hairdryer is a bit of a no-no in bathrooms , as lethal as a portable 2kW heater.Stick to the low voltage shaver/toothbrush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Providing it's in the correct volume (area) and the rating and classe is correct then under the regs it's ok.[6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigears Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 hiok just the wifes toothbrush, I've been using the socket in the light to power a 300w halogen spot light. This was the only socket functioning at the time upstairs as I did the elctrics. What I think I will do is to put both the lamps on a single circuit, I've a number of spare fuses in the box. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave&Olive Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 hi ok You can just run a small fly lead like this ,you can then use the spare sockets to run the tooth brush / hair dryer on Dave [IMG]http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j311/daveolive/cid_1D163974303547C4A977CFCEF42CF7F.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzjob Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 For a start, I would like to know how someone got a pikky of my baffroom? Secondly I think that this could catch on as a brand new form of pool heating. Now there would be no need for expensive use of electricity to heat the water, you just heat the people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerdesal Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Of course....I see the problem now.....the box is mounted upside down !Nice ISO / NF cable clamp, but shouldn't it be wrapped with a couple of turns of insulation tape?
