Hi,

I am frustrated by the lack of electrical outlets in my bathroom. I realise there is an electric shock hazard and that is the reason behind this problem. However, I don't see why I can't plug all my devices in at the same time so they can charge, even if they charge one-at-a-time. Isn't it a simple enough matter to time share the supply to multiple plugs?

Is there some risk I'm missing here?

I find myself also wondering why things like shavers and toothbrushes can't charge via a USB outlet too. Of course, I'm presuming there that the risk is lower from a USB socket than the usual one - I know many USB chargers can supply quite a lot of current, and even at 5V that is probably some risk, but they don't have to supply a lot of current, I imagine.

What do you think?

Max.
 
Well the customer is always right. For me the only thing I have on charge in my bathroom is.........nought. Her indoors got her toothbrush plugged into shaver socket once a week, I binned my electric shaver (which only need charging once a month, shaved every day, don't you know), for more manly wet shaver.

But if people want to usb plug in there iPad, iPhone, watch a tv in the bath, hair remover, hairdryer or whatever else, pamper their needs. Personally, wandering around in the nudy :eek:, with lashings of water & steam abound, I rather just manually teeth with a toothbrush. :)
 
here's the answer.

What a bloody daft thread, it does not happen here in the UK. Forget all that 3 meter rubbish.I for one would never even fit a switch inside a bathroom, pull cord or it goes outside, never mind a socket.

I'm with you on that one Dave. Sensible way to go.
