Mirror light.
Been doing up the cloakroom.
At the moment there is an old shaver socket/light above the mirror. Which contains an 18" florrie. Design wise, it looks its 40 years or so. And also looks a bit lost, since the mirror is nearly the size of the room - to make it look bigger. Don't need a shaver socket these days, and something about 1 metre long would look better. And warm white LED to match the main lighting. Any suggestions what would look good without costing a fortune? -- *Reality is the illusion that occurs due to the lack of alcohol * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Think like many things you'd once have plugged into the shaver socket, they are now cordless. But since I do have a shaver socket in the bathroom, I'm not going to pay extra for one in the cloakroom. -- *I love cats...they taste just like chicken.

I had a mirror specially cut to a shape for our downstairs bog. A glass / mirror specialist may have some options that have worked. |
