phone charger for use in a bathroom. Is there such a thing?

[Bullterrier]

interesting, probably due to high moisture levels corroding the internals.
more a warrenty issue than a safety issue I expect.
but if the MI says no then,
it is unsuitable for that use.

Exactly that. Missed opportunity with most new small rechargeable everythings being USB now. I noticed that the new model toothbrushes are usb with a ‘British bit’ added In the box to allow for our old fashioned 2 pin use.

I have changed the spec to a shaving light with USB (Ansell).

Even this has MI that state not to place any item being charged on top! It’s IP20 re zones too.

So my solution to this issue of USB was easy and compliant. All compliant shaver sockets support UK Shaver (not same pin spacing as euro socket) and US socket (. Which is the same as standard US).

So, buy a USA mains to USB adapter, as I have, and it works just great, and is isolated by the shaver socket transformer. You do have to plug into the 110v socket. I also found that plugging into this locks out using the 240v at the same time just in case you were thinking USB and Shaver/Toothbrush !!

I think my bathroom shaver socket has had an electric tooth brush plugged in it for about twenty years. ?

Is it charged yet.

Ended up reading through this resurrected thread and the MK module seems perfect in most respects, even having isolation on the AC side when nothing is plugged in so no IR test issues and no wasted power.

Minor problem is the instructions say "Suitable for fixed installation in dry interior locations only" so I guess a toilet is fine, but not with bath/shower present?

Is it too late to say I installed it outside the bathroom next to light switch. Handy table to leave the devices on.

What a great idea it is to charge the Fitbit while in the shower. However the Fitbit uses so little power - why not just use a power bank?

Surely wearing it on the shower is better? I mean it's an ideal chance to check yourself over and as we know one thing leads to another, it'll improve your step count drastically...

I find better results from checking someone else over...
