Bathroom shaver point adapter needed:

We now have 3 electric toothbrushes and an electric shaver. These are all
battery powered, but they need to be left on charge. Total current
consumption is tiny - the electric toothbrush chargers are rated at 2w.
So,
where do I find a 4-way adapter that I can plug into the bathroom shaver
socket? I guess it needs to be shuttered, etc. Failing that, are there 4
way
sockets around?

Only thing I can find is that huge BS approved box for £29. I will
therefore watch the results of this post with some interest!



It just occurs to me why you might not be allowed to have more than one item
connected to a shaver socket. Suppose, unlikely as it sounds, that item 1
fails so that the 'live' wire touches the case whilst item 2 fails whilst
the 'neutral' wire is doing likewise, then you could touch both and not be
protected by the transformer. Hence you need a separate transfromer for each
socket.

You mentioned a huge box, that's probably why it's huge. How huge, and where
do I get one?

So you don't fancy my idea of sticking four 13A shaver adapters in a 4-
way socket strip, and fitting a shaver plug to plug it in to the
existing socket?
