There's a provision in the Regulations for shavers and similar items

And as a warning - our light-come-shaver-adapter died. I bought another,
only to find it would only charge with the light on. Forcing me to waste
60W while charging at 2W

I charged it elsewhere.

My bathroom light was like that, as supplied. So I re-engineered it to
power the transformer from the incoming live rather than the switched
live. Why don't you do the same? This *is* a DIY group!

[I have put a warning label on the socket to the effect that it's live
even when the light is switched off].
