Can you power a LED mirror using the shaver socket in the bathroom

If we replace the shaver socket for an LED mirror like this:

Can it be powered using the existing power supply that exist for the shaver socket?

Thanks

    Assuming you are talking about existing shaver outlet “supply” mains voltage 240v no problem removing shaver outlet and connecting (if shaver outlet output is e.g 110 240 you could plug into a 240 volt on it but removing would be better)

    Occasionally shaver outlet is connected in such a way that they only power up with bathroom light, extractor etc so check first if you wish to use light on mirror independently of those

    The power supply to the current shaver is independent to the light and extractor switch....

    The current shaver plug has two holes, one for 110v and another for 240v....so I can just replace the shaver socket to power the led mirror

    WOW !!! that's one ExPeNsIvE mirror !
    very nice, I run a small CFL fluorescent light from my shaver socket,
    just plugs in, and works on both 110v or 220v,
    fine for me alone, but I expect someone will scream its unsafe :)

    When I replaced bathroom cabinet, our electrician used the existing shaver supply to power new integrated shaver point and light.
