    Can someone explain how bathroom heated mirrors are normally wired.
    I haven’t seen how they are switched on, do such mirrors exist where separate switches ( pull cords?) operate the light on the mirror, and the heating element.
    How quickly do these mirrors heat up generally
    Will a spur from the ceiling light rose be ok

    They have all different type switches, some a pull cord on it itself, infra red where you run your hand past, or ones with proximity when your in front of it.

    Usually the heating pad is only a portion of the whole mirror and is on the same time as the lights. Most will clear mist in 2 or 3 minutes. This is roughly, as will depend on the amount, and the size of the room.

    I’ve been having a quick look at what’s out there.

    The infrared feature seems neat.

    I’ll probably go for something around 100watts, lighting and element combined.

    For now I just need to get the wiring in place.
    1.5 form the lighting circuit ?
