Bathroom lights / Shaving Socket

[random]

Hi,

I am fitting a new bathroom suite. We used to have an all in one light & shaver socket & have decided to swap this for downlights fitted into a light canopy above wall units & a separate shaving socket in one of the wall cupboards. Both the new lights & the shaving socket will be fed off the current (earth) light connection.

So I'll end up with current feed into a junction box, then split off to the lights & shaving socket. I will need a switch for the lights, which I can put into zone 3, but where would be the best / most practical place to put it?
I was thinking about putting it under one of the wall units, but wondered if anyone could recommend a better place.

Cheers

Zone 3 has been removed from the current regs. Pull switches are better suited to bathrooms.

I don't think a pull switch would be good for what are going to be in effecr mirror lights.

I've fitted proximity switches a couple of times for bathrooms.
Detector goes under the cabinet, you wave your hand under it and light goes on, another wave and it goes off - magic.

PS - do look at the WIKI re legalities re electric work in a bathroom.

The proximity switches look fairly pricey to me. Can you get one which is contained in a box similar to a basic switch?

When you say legalities, I assume you are talking about Part P?
