Discuss There was mirror with led lights,with no switch for the light from the power source .can rocker switch be use (240v Ac power soutet in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

if the suply to the mirror is standard 240V a.c. then a 240V a.c. rocker switch (normal light switch, as in fixed to a wall) is ideal, as long as you are switching before the LED driver, on the 240V input side.
 
Not sure about your local regulations, a rocker switch will work as long as it is rated for at least the voltage being switched and the current.
In the U.K. there are restrictions if being used in a bathroom and it may not be suitable for all locations.

Will it work? YES
Is it to regulations? UNKNOWN

P.s. welcome to the forum.
 
they are available worldwide, just make sure it is suitable for the environment it will be installed in.

again, I cant advise on local regulations so if you are unsure then maybe check with a local electrician?
