Hi. A very basic question from a novice.
I've just moved into a flat which has a bathroom shaver light/socket that doesn't work (light or shaver socket). I'm wondering if the problem is with the unit or the wiring. I've unscrewed it from the wall to take a look behind. Couldn't see any loose wires, but while I was screwing it back the light briefly flashed on, suggesting to me that something is loose.
Even as a novice I'm reluctant to call out an electrician if it's just a question of tightening up a loose connection or replacing the unit with a new one. But before I can proceed any further I need to establish which breaker circuit the unit is on, so I can cut the power. I don't want to switch off both "lights" and "socket" at the same time, as the bathroom has no daylight and I want to be able to see what I'm doing. Any suggestions (besides buying a good torch)?
BTW the unit is a pretty cheap one, one of these: http://www.thelightingsuperstore.co...Bathroom-Lighting/product.asp?productid=40558
Any help would be much appreciated.
