    Can I take a spur from the shaver light to power also a bathroom wall heater?

    No.

    It's not able to supply enough power & you may cause a fire and/or burn out the wire if you try.

    AHhh I get ya. I thought that wire in the wall was a standard power wire that supplies the standard plugs but i guess the shaver wiring is on the lighting circuit ;)
    I assumed the lights worked off the same power supplies/wiring as standard sockets etc. Thinking logically the lighting circuit would have a lot less power and i assume the cabling would be lighter also. thus not being able to run a fan heater
    Cheers for info lads:cool:
