Hi guys

Going to be putting a new shower. Well it'll be a mixer shower but has a panel that has lights and speakers etc. This is wired with a 3a plug top on the end.
Anyone ever fitted one before as i was unsure the route to go with supplying this. Do i take a feed from the cu on a 6a breaker to switch fuse just outside the bathroom and then run to underneath the tray (wil need a tool to get under so classed as outside zones) into an unswitched socket.
Or take a feed from the light into switch fused spur to underneath the tray??

I know I'm old fashioned but this seems a lot of faff , why do people want to p155 about with this sort of thing when you can just have your shower and get moving ?

Waiting for Tel's post regarding shower and all mod cons.
When I had to wire up power showers Tritan Quartz? used to be a switched fused spur from ring final circuit.

Would an sfcu off the ring circuit be better then?

My view would be yes if you run a new circuit it would be a waste of a spare way also as it is a new circuit would be subject to Part P Building Regulations.

Im not being mad but it wouldnt be right to come off the 6mm. As in 6mm from cu to shower switch but made a sfcu and then 2.5mm. Thats not to be done is it?
