I am replacing a shaver socket in a bathroom and having taking the cover plate off there are two cables wired in. Presumably this means the shaver socket has a loop in and out on the lighting radial circuit.

Is there any good reason for this to be done rather than simply taking a 'spur' off the radial circuit?

thanks

Does your bathroom cabinet (presumably adjacent for the mirror) have a light? That could be where the other cable goes to / is coming from.

Don't forget bathrooms are "special locations" according to Part P so ANY leccy work in there must be be by a Part P qualified sparks. Of course you may be in which case I apologise but others reading this thread might not be and think it's OK.

Cheers

Hi ,
unusual but it does mean one less cable in the light fitting as it's effectively in the loop between fittings, any body any other thoughts
regards SPARX

thanks for the replies. I figure it probably is as sparx says.... too many wires in the light fitting
