ᐅ Connecting an LED Bathroom Mirror: What Is the Gray Wire?

Good evening,

I want to connect a new bathroom mirror at home. The bathroom mirror also includes a power outlet that needs to be connected as well.
There were three wire colors on the bathroom mirror and the existing cables, which were properly installed by an electrician, and they are color-matched. However, on the house side, besides the brown wire, there is also a gray wire that shows voltage when I measure it. Where should this be connected?

Thank you for your help

Your image 2 shows a jumper from contact 1 to 2 for cases where only one phase is available. However, this causes the light switch to also turn off the socket outlet in the mirror.

Your electrician has installed two phases for you so that you can connect the socket and light separately. This way, the socket will not turn off when the light is switched off. So connect the gray wire to terminal 2. If necessary, this might be reversed, in which case swap the brown and gray wires again if the light has constant power and the socket is supposed to be controlled on and off via the light switch.

Hey,

thanks for your reply. It worked with one mirror cabinet. For the second one, I now have different colors on the house side. How does that look?

I connected the light blue wire to the blue one and the others to brown/black (tried both ways). The light worked each time, but the socket did not...

Thanks again!

In this case, you need the bridge between 1 and 2 as described in the instructions. Then leave out the purple wire (connect it with a Wago connector or cut and insulate it).
