Illuminated bathroom cabinet

[cecclescakes]

Hi,
This may be a stupid question, apologies in advance.
I have an illuminated bathroom mirror cabinet with shaver socket, we removed it from our last bathroom before we moved as it's a really nice cabinet. Turns out we can't use it in this house due to space issues, so now I want to sell it.
It worked perfectly before the move, but want to test it before I sell it, for obvious reasons, but clearly can't hard wire it up to test.
Question is, can I wire a plug to it, so I can plug it into a standard socket to test, and then remove the plug again to sell?

Yes, I wired mine in that way permanently.

In a bathroom? Didn't think that was allowed , but thank you for the response.

As long as 3 meters from bath or shower no problem, however most people do not have bathrooms that big, it is really for when a shower is fitted in a bedroom, it was permitted at the same time as rules for showers in bedrooms were deleted.

However I suspect not fitted in a bathroom? It seems many items which say designed for bathroom are not, fitted under basin cupboard in mothers, the cupboard fell apart with the water, I removed it, not realising the sink was not attached to wall, it just sat on cupboard, few months latter middle of night it fell off the wall, the sealant finally gave out.

I would not have fitted any electrics other than shower in the bathroom, which did not actually contain a bath, just a shower, the room was tanked and we would wash down the walls with the shower rose. Daughters wet room did not even have a shower, a chair a tap and some thing like a builders trug and a jug to wash with, OK in Turkey, but point is to be suitable for sockets really has nothing to do with fitting a bath or shower, the shower in corner of dads bedroom never leaked water into the room, and the 3 meter rule seemed daft. If the cubical walls had been a little taller it would have been considered as an independent room.

And go to a woman's hair dresser and they have shower heads and special sinks, for washing hair, and even seen shower heads in kitchen sinks to wash dishes, so some times we need to use some common sense.

From the sound of your original post, the cabinet cannot fit in the bathroom, so there's no problem.
If it is actually in the bathroom, connect a long length of cable and temporarily plug it in somewhere else. its not difficult.
