Shaver Light

I must mention that most of these have dual voltages, 115 and 220 volts, you simply flick a switch to change over.

Some have different outputs for the light, although 60 watts seems to be the norm, this is perfect for a close examination. They all have a diffuser fitted so there is no glare.

These light fittings are small and compact, and even attractive, they fit close to the wall and are not too intrusive.

...easy to keep clean.

There is no great power drain with these fittings, so you can say you are doing your bit for the environment.

They use flourescent light, which is a very good light for showing up faces, useful for women to apply make up, not just for men to shave with.

I have an electric razor which I use on occasion, however I have fitted a three pin plug, so it is no longer suitable for these sockets. ... more

I have an electric razor which I use on occasion, however I have fitted a three pin plug, so it is no longer suitable for these sockets. If you intend using one of these sockets for anything else, you must make sure the drain is not too much, and of course have a two pin plug attached with an adaptor.

As for safety, these have a pull cord to operate the switch, and are made to comply with BS3052 which is safe in bathrooms, these areas are officially classed as "Zone 3".

The prices vary quite a bit, and range between twelve and forty odd pounds, although the picture Ciao have used is a Micromark model, and these are available at Plumbworld for £23. They are also to be found at some of the major DIY superstores. The tubes are about the only things that wear out, and these are on sale at just a pound each.

If you are OK on electrics, this is an easy light to fit, otherwise choose a qualified electrician.
