Greetings!
I feel like I’m asking an absolute beginner question here, but: Is it possible to connect illuminated bathroom mirrors to an existing wall outlet so that I can control the bathroom mirror with the bathroom light switch?
I have a wall outlet here (similar to a ceiling outlet for lighting, with live/neutral wires and grounding). The bathroom mirror I actually intended to install came with a power plug for connection to a socket. This means I would only be able to switch the lighting on the mirror itself. That’s not what I was looking for.
Unfortunately, I rarely find information online about how to connect these illuminated mirrors, and I’m wondering if the wall outlet in this form is only intended for a separate light fixture, or if I need to modify the three-wire wall outlet in some way to achieve my goal.
In the past, I have always used mirrors without lighting...

Bathrooms do not necessarily need their own individual RCD (residual current device), but they must be protected by at least one RCD. In general, you should have significantly more than just one RCD in the distribution board, unless your house is already several decades old. I have exactly two RCD devices in the panel:
1. Doepke RCCB DFS 4
2. Doepke RCBO B16 FI/LS combination.
The light switches in the hallways are protected via number 2.
Otherwise, I have 22 circuit breakers in the panel.
Does this setup make sense? Or is this no longer up to current standards (at this point, my electrician surprises me with nothing anymore)?
