Default bathroom tv question
Hello guys
thinking about fitting a tv at the top of mi bath..i was wondering if anybody had done one and how they went about it..

The more i think about it, the less inthused i am.

I would not do it ether . think about it. tv has vents to keep it cook. steam going into the vents creating electrical problems. there is a reason why items have ip's on them and also why selv is used.

I realize we speak the same language but I have no idea what a selv or an IP is. Is this a UK thing or am I just out of the loop on that.

Selv is an acronym http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra_low_voltage

IP rating is protection rating http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code

hope this helps
