No FCU is required. Shaver supply units can be wired straight

Good! I was going to wire it (have it wired!) from the switched

side of
the illuminated mirror so that it came on when the mirror light was

on -
I assume that if it's wired in directly to the lighting circuit

it'll be
drawing current all the time?

Make sure that the shaver point contains an isolating transformer

as
it is going into a bathroom.


Screwfix 61532. No mention of an isolating transformer. I assumed

(not
always a good idea, I know) it would be ok as shaver sockets are

fitted
in bathrooms...


Some Shaver sockets are designed for use in dressing rooms etc. (or
outside the UK), these units do not have the 1:1 transformer and no
auto switching - both a UK requirement.
