Which cable needed for Toothbrush charger & mirror demister -> 3 pin plugs

[dwattsy21]

Hi, thanks in advance for any help. I'm renovating a bathroom, and am integrating a ProofVision dual electric toothbrush charger into a cabinet.

So that I can have it only come on for a few hours each week, I want it wired to a 3 pin plug which I will then plug into a timer, then a socket in the loft. My question is... what thickness of cable would I need? I've just bought some 2.5mm squared but it's chunkier than I thought. Could I use 1.5mm squared?

Doing a similar thing with a mirror demister pad, but that will plug into a smart plug activated by a motion sensor. Would 1.5mm squared be okay for that?

VISABEL Mirror Demister Pad 524 x 1024mm 100W / 230V

VISABEL mirror heating film is self-adhesive and fits to the back of the mirror. Electric conductors in the film heat the mirror to approx. 30°C, thus preventing condensation on the mirror. Each pad heats an area approximately 20% larger than the pad itself. VISABEL mirror demisting pads can be...

1mm² T&E (the smallest T&E) will be more than enough, although 0.75mm² flexible cable might be more suitable.

3A fuse in the plug.

Rather than make a useless sweeping comment, could you clarify what is not allowed, ie what is the correct way to install the product?

I'm taking the wire through channeling behind plasterboard, and it will plug in to a socket in the loft
