Can't find Medicine chest with wiring
I have been searching for a medicine chest that comes with intergrated
wiring for an outlet and a switch for lights, and can't seem to find one. The store i went to says they don't make them like that anymore..have to add your own lighting and switch. The prices they are asking for seem rediculous for a medicine chest ..anywhere from 49$ to 650$ |

Put an old-work box above it for a light, and run a leg down to counter level for a switch, and another for a GFCI outlet. The new electrical parts will cost you less than 50 bucks. For the medicine cabinet, including maybe one with built-in or repairable wiring, if your budget or sensibility won't tolerate the prices at the big-box or fancy places, try Habitat ReStore- they almost always have a whole row of bathroom ripout fixtures. -- aem sends... |
