Mirror light.

Oct 15, 2020 Last reply: 5 years ago 12 Replies

Been doing up the cloakroom.



At the moment there is an old shaver socket/light above the mirror. Which contains an 18" florrie. Design wise, it looks its 40 years or so. And also looks a bit lost, since the mirror is nearly the size of the room - to make it look bigger.



Don't need a shaver socket these days, and something about 1 metre long would look better. And warm white LED to match the main lighting.



Any suggestions what would look good without costing a fortune?


was told, by management, years ago that our daughter's bedroom didn't need a shaver socket. Now, when she visits, there's nowhere to plug her tooth brush into.

This is not as long as you desire, but I found it quite neat and attractive.

I guess there is not much around between this and a 4ft tube equivalent.

Are any under-cabinet lights made presentable enough to be on show?

Depends on how fugly you think something like this is:

Its all there if you search hard

I thought electric toothbrushes were either chargeable, connected to a

13A socket with a wall wart, or had removable batteries charged elsewhere (if at all).

No, they plug into the shaver socker. How d'ye expect to have a 13A socket in a bathroom?

Does anyone remember light pipes? Back many moons ago some surrounds of mirrors used this type of plastic transparent stuff and a few bulbs to make an evenly lit surround. Not much good as a light, it had to be said, but I always thought they were cool. Brian

Think like many things you'd once have plugged into the shaver socket, they are now cordless.

But since I do have a shaver socket in the bathroom, I'm not going to pay extra for one in the cloakroom.

We had a good one off EBay. Proximity switch, demister, LED, digital clock, socket.

Far far too small.

The existing mirror is 1200x900mm

I had a mirror specially cut to a shape for our downstairs bog. A glass / mirror specialist may have some options that have worked.
