You’ve planted a seed now. I wasn’t aware that some LED mirrors have shaver sockets. What would I need to do to get rid of the socket and just wire the mirror?

I decided to keep the socket and just put the mirror (when I get it) above it. Any issues with that?

Thanks for the info! I think what I was looking for was an explanation of the 2x earth/live/neutrals. I'm assuming the reason for the 2x of each is that it is a loop system? Meaning that there is a set of wires feeding this socket but then the second set is off out to another socket somewhere?

Can someone explain the wiring to me in these sockets?

I'm tired :LOL:

Thanks for the response but that is what I was referring to. My fault for not being clearer, apologies. I was going to chase to the right of the socket (horizontally) then up behind the cabinet (vertically). Obviously the cabinet would be replaced with the LED mirror.

Hey all. I want to install an LED mirror in a bathroom, and I am wondering is it as straight-forward as it looks to spur off this shaver socket? Any advice would be warmly received and appreciated :-) I want the mirror to be where the cabinet is now, so would I chase to the right of the socket...

Cheers Pete!

Hi Harry. Thanks for the response. It's a new build so there has been no stair lift installed.

Thanks for the prompt response mate. There is nothing specific for the socket at the fuse box so I assume it will likely fall under 5 (general sockets). But I will get a voltage tester on this tomorrow.

Hey guys, I have a 13amp fused spur blanking plate for a stair lift at the top of the stairs that I'd like to replace with a plug socket. I just wanted to check that it's as straight-forward as I believe it to be before I swap it over?

Thanks. I only got the spur done today as I doubled checked, then triple checked everything, given this was my first attempt at chasing. I have been over the planned route for the HDMIs & Coax a dozen times and I am confident the road is clear. So, I'll tackle that tomorrow and hopefully get...

This year.

I agree. Whilst I could well believe that leads do become faulty at times, I have never had a HDMI or coax cable become faulty. The redundancy here is that I am going to run 2 HDMI cables in the conduit when I only need one. But hey, it's a risk I have to take as I cannot do a straight run in...

Plaster all the way to the floor, John. I took a length of skirting off today to check.

I will get a look on Friday when I take the skirting off and I'll report back.

I have, as I have to take the skirting off any way to lay flooring, but as I'm using a chaser it's too big and bulky to ensure chase stays behind skirting. That said, surely a horizontal chase behind the skirting is the same as a horizontal chase further up the wall?

Thanks again for your informative posts, mate. I have decided to go for 25mm x 16mm trunking with the clip on lid as it's plenty for what I need it for - having bought a 2m length and tested it at home. I hear ya about not being able to add additional leads with connectors but given my needs...

Looking at the plans, the internal solid walls are 140mm deep, so I am expecting the external walls to be the same with the additional cavity and then final brickwork. If 140mm deep, then I should get away with a 23mm deep chase, right? I'll air on the side of caution though and go to 20mm. As...
