667294 2008-05-09 03:29:00 Don't try plugging in a 100W bulb. You might see "black light" from the transformer: smoke.

A 60W transformer does not magically limit its output to 60W when presented with a 100W bulb. It will get very hot. Is a shaver isolating transfiormer that big? I'd expect more like 20-30W, from the few I've seen.

667297 2008-05-09 05:50:00 I hate the idea of shaving. It is so unnatural.

Yes it shows, ssssssanta clause.

667298 2008-05-09 08:30:00 as an electric razor has a motor it'd draw FAR more power than a 20w light bulb.....
I continue to exercise restraint here. :lol:

Yep I reckon you are going to get lots of trouble from the transformer, but nothing like the problems you are going to have with your daughter. Good luck mate you'll need it.

667302 2008-05-10 07:27:00 The bathroom socket just looks like a normal one though, we have a socket in both the ensuite and main bathrooms, it doesn't have the shaver-only socket configuration or any writing that says for shavers only so perhaps its a standard socket.

I didn't think though that you could have standard 240v outlets in bathrooms though? It's on the wall right next to the glass shower side wall above the vanity. The house was built in 2007 so it should be legit....
