Cable for LED Bathroom mirror with shaving socket.

[russ8585]

Hi,

Im replacing my bathroom and I need to run a cable down the wall before the tiling gets done.
What type of cable should I use for an LED bathroom mirror with a shaving socket?
Im looking at this one from B&Q and the manual doesn't advise what size of wire is needed.
I wont be wiring it in myself, but I will be putting the cable in place before my bathroom is tiled.

Cheers.

Mines very similar I used 1mm twin and earth, I put another FCU by the boiler switch and put a 3 amp fuse in it.

Its a pain to connect as you have to connect the wire to the twin and earth whilst balancing it or get someone to hold it...

I put a single box in the wall and put this over it, so I used it as I big blank plate...

Buy it before you tile so you can measure and get the box in the correct place.

3 core & earth, so you have both switched and permanent line at the mirror position.

Thanks both. Makes sense to use a 1.5m 3 core + earth. Allows for future proofing. Not sure what sort of back box I would need. Most of these mirror cupboards come with a cable already attached, so you need a spot on the wall for some sort of back box which is also safe for a bathroom.
