"Hi. If the mirror requires mains power, then we would recommend hiring a competent electrician to install."

"realistically all electrical work in a bathroom should be carried out by a qualified electrician. If it is a 12 volt or 24 volt led strip then yes you can do that yourself, but connecting the driver onto the mains then no you cannot"

"Absolutely! Any mains powered electric work should be carried out by a time served electrician. They should also be able to give you a minor work’s certificate for the work you have described."

"Do you have power for the mirror already?
Do you have the skills and knowledge to do it yourself?

If yes to both then no. If no to any then yes."
