It's obvious even without reading the regs that I can't (legally) put
a standard three pin single socket up there. What, if anything, CAN I
put there to supply a music machine? (I know the damp atmosphere will
take it's toll on the system, but the S.O. has to have her music when
having her hour long soaks! We'll be using an el cheapo system,
maybe 2nd hand. Disposable, in that sense.)

AIUI for something that isn't fix up on the wall beyond reach and / or
that
is operated by pull-cord, a shaver point with a 1:1 isolating
transformer.

(Google throws up nothing I understand!) OK, a shaver point type
socket with a pull cord, feeding this transformer, right?

No, the shaver point has a built in transformer and an automatic switch,
when you plug a shaver into the socket it operates the internal switch in
the socket.

OK, I'll
make enquiries in my local electrical retailers. Thanks for the idea.

The problem is, the hifi would need a shaver lead / plug.


Might be cheaper and safer to but her a battery operated hifi and some
rechargeable batteries.....

Probably, but it's not What_She_Wants.


It's not a case of what she want, unless you really want her to meet with a
case of Darwinism...
