Cables with a red tag/sleeve are normally "switched" live. Does your shaver light come on with the bathroom light :question

And what was the answer? :)

I was trying to figure out in my head where all the cables went.. and gave up ;D so I'm intrigued..

I nearly suggested posting on www.diynot.com, but the only advice you'd get there would be "A bathroom is a restricted zone. Call a certified electrician." ;D
