OMG I need this in my life. Where abouts are you, can you come help me with this work pretty please??? I have been afraid of people falling through so I have suffered a dark bathroom for a while 😂😂😂😂
Love this video, watched lots and this is the most clear and informative. I was going to put my mirror on a fused switch that used to have a fan heater on, but now I am not sure if using a feed from the bathroom light will be better 🤔
Excellent tutorial mate I’ll be installing one soon. Thanks
Go for it 😃
Love it mate. From Australia
Really useful, Thanks 🙏🏿
Cracking electrical videos mate, learnt alot from them
Thanks a lot! I didn't hit any studs because I used a stud finder to check the area was clear.
Brilliant as ever - Thank you 😂
Your welcome
Great job 👏
Thanks
Spot on, thanks. 👍
Thanks
really useful. thanks
Welcome
I love your videos
Thanks a lot 😀
Great video. Would have preferred to see a fused spur to isolate the mirror, as we know these items will eventually fail and trip an mcb or RCD and would make it easier to isolate.
Nice one!.
Thanks
was chuffed to see you had a video on this. i did this with my bathroom mirror a few years ago.. however down in the downstairs bathroom.. concrete wall! :( you cant access the ceiling from the loft as theres a bedroom above it. so am thinking of chasing a cable into a fused spur. and then have that fitted next to the back of the mirror and then have the mirror connect to the spur. i guess XD
Good Vid mate
Thanks
In regards to bathroom zoning, does the mirror have to be 0.6m away from the sink/tap is this to the bottom of the mirror or where the electric box is on back of mirror?
Appreciate this is an older video so don't know if you'll see this. I have an Extractor fan with timer immediately above where is like to place a mirror. Could I tap into the permanent live on that?
Good instruction
Thanks
Hi, how do I take a permanent live in the loft? Could I just split from the cable to the shaver socket and would this stil be 1mm cable? Great video thank you
Is it possible to hook up motion sensor switch to auto turn on/off the mirror light?
If I have an LED mirror with a 3 pin plug on the end of the flex, should I just remove the flex/plug and wire the 1.5 cable straight into the connectors inside the mirror? Thanks for the video!!
Nice one
Anytime
Great vid but where would you put a fused spur? Also if on a lighting circuit what if it’s not a rcd?
Hi could you have wired to the shaving socket on the adjacent right hand wall provided you could chase the cable around? I have a similar situation however lucky for me i have a shaving socket on the same wall.
Top bloke
Thanks 👍
Thanks for the video :) top tip, use masking tape to draw your pencil lines on so you dont mark the walls and when you drill the drill bit doesn’t slip :)
Great, very well explained. Which option is more better...giving power to led mirror from Main Live or Switch Live terminal? Thanks in advance.
Hi, that depends on the mirrors functions. If your mirror has a switch to operate it independently then you would take it from a permanent live. If you want it to operate from a seperate switch then you'd be best to take it from the switched live.
If its in a bathroom do you need to patch the hole so moisture doesn't get into the walls?
What fixings did you use to attach this to stud?
I am happy to do the work myself, but not sure if this falls within the Part P Uk regulations.
Could you take live from a shaver plug?
Great video👏🏾👍🏾why do you connect the led mirror to permanent Live?
Thanks. It is connected to a permanent live because if you put it on a switched live then the mirror would only function when the room light is on. Alternatively you could install a seperate switch.
Great video, I'll be installing one like that soon but onto a solid wall. How would you go about wiring that up? I thought of using a flex outlet but there isn't much room for that behind the mirror.
Would have to chase the wall to bury your cable
hi very informative video can you help me out I've just bought a led mirror but it came with a 3 pin plug lead with a small connector which goes to the mirror and push fit connects to 2 small wires red and black but I've ran a 1.5 cable down my wall do I ignore the plug and just put the black and red into a connector block and then wire my lighting cable into the block ?? any help much appreciated
Hi, just ignore the plug and wire it straight into the lighting circuit.
We installed led mirror but it got line scratch at lower left side due to little hitting touch to side wall. how to remove it any suggestions??
we are replacing a little bathroom light with shaver socket but it only has live and neutral with no earth, yet the LED new mirror has an earth. Do i need to connect the earth or just leave it in a connector without an earth supply coming to it? Thanks
Super helpful video! Where did you get the LED mirror from?
I took it out of someone else's bathroom on a previous job so i don't know where it came from originally 😟
Question... What if the bathroom is downstairs, so there's no loft... how do you get power/wire from the first floor ceiling light over to the wall ?? Love to know if you have a video or details on this? @The DIY Guy
Very difficult in a 2 story house unfortunately. Sometimes there are exhaust fans or AC registers you can remove for access but most the time it will require a section of the ceiling to come down
thought no one could touch their electrics in a bathroom. can i update my two wire extractor to three? i am trying to work it out...
Hi there DIY GUY!! I have an LED mirror with a demister, can the same components you've used, we can use... Mirror has neutral, live and earth and the wires in the loft are black and red?
Take power from ceiling rose
vcan I use 2.5mm cable?
How do you set the clock?
👏
Thanks
Will the wiring as shown in your video be the same if the mirror has a demister?
Hi. Yes, exactly the same.
I know you mention 1mm t&e cable but can I use a 1.5mm instead?
yes 1mm or 1.5mm is suitable for wiring lighting circuits.
What’s make is that stripping tool?. I want one!.
It's a Stanley auto stripper
Does the wire not get squashed against the wall and make the mirror not sit flush against the wall?
No as long as you feed it in properly it will be fine.
What’s 1mm in AWG?
What screws did you mount it with?
Metal 😂
Warning: these illuminated cabinets are fine but the ones with built in shaver sockets make a continuous buzz from the low budget isolating transformer arrangement. I paid for 3 and now have to disconnect all the sockets and provide separate ones
Also, how did you not hit any noggins in the stud wall ?
Hi, stud finder can be used for this.
How do you wire it if it’s not a stud wall?
Unfortunately you will need to chase a cable into the wall
Do you have any videos on this? Or recommend any? For chasing a wire into the wall. Thanks.
Hey I see a stud in front of the wall...
why didnt you drill a small hole in the centre of the cut out behind the mirror, pull the cable through it and stick the cut out back in the wall so there's not a big hole behind the mirror!
You didn't show us how you mounted the mirror to the wall. Why?
👍
The mirror was wired into the lighting circuit without any isolation switch. What happens when you need to isolate the mirror from the supply? Is the DIY guy definitely a qualified electrician or just showing us what he thinks is good enough? Does it comply with Electrical regulations? Especially with all the bathroom rules.
Nice long tail to play with 😂
😁
Actually, electric work outside zones is not notifiable and does not have to be done by an electrician. But it obviously must be done correctly and safely!
In Wales all electrical work in a bathroom should be carried out by a registered electrician
