Not sure how this is powered: if mains 240v, you'll need a cable going through wall to power supply & the whole thing will need to be IP rated. If battery, I reckon it'll eat LOTS of them.
I installed boat speakers in bathroom, ran wires through wall into stereo which has 2 sets of switchable speaker terminals. Quality great whilst in shower!

it's got a heated demister pad so looks to be mains powered .'. needs a qualified electrician

as suggested, a battery powered LED one would be a nice DIY fit

We just use a little Sandstrom Bluetooth speaker, last 2-3 weeks on a full charge, easy to pair and sounds pretty acceptable for a bathroom. Pretty sure Sony do waterproof ones now too.

I think they are 240v because of the light/demister batterys would not last long at all.

I would be puting in 240v as the bathroom is getting refurbished or any other ideas you have are welcome.

more overly protective bks - I'm waiting for the day when we're no longer allowed to change our own flat tyres or fill up with petrol (actually that sounds like a nice idea, but I digress) due to elf n safety frown
