How to connect the bathroom mirror light
Before

how to connect the light to the bathroom mirror. If the light switches and
sockets are positioned on the mirror, first turn off the main switch and then
open the box that housed the switch. From the junction box, lay three cables:
phase (black), neutral (blue) and earth (yellow-green), long enough to reach
above the mirror, and prepare them for the connections, which are made by
joining the wires in hood-type terminals so as not to be able to
accidentally bump them.

the spotlight needs to be mounted next to the mirror, it is preferable to
choose it adjustable, so as to be able to direct the light beam according to
the needs and to have a perfect yield in every situation. To obtain a uniform the result, two spotlights must be installed on the sides of the mirror, so that
both can be turned towards the person and ensure uniform and diffused lighting.
