bathroom lighting

Hi all , 
i am just wondering did any one notice wires above the sink coming out of the wall to wire up a mirror with a built in light.
or is there just wiring for lighting on the ceiling,

Regards Ken

There is wires above where a mirror light would go on the wall as well as on the ceiling.  Hope this helps.

Our recollection is that there was no wiring on the wall for a mirror/light but two lots of wiring in the ceiling - one for a ceiling light and one for a spotlight (or similar) that could be angled towards a mirror above the wash basin.  

Can anyone who is going over check this and confirm on this thread as it will make a difference to the lights that we choose.

I don't recall any power at that point but do remember seeing power sockets on the adjacent wall and above the door.  The naranjos show apartments also have an additional power socket behind the door for a towel rail - if memory serves me right I don't think the Jardines have this.  Perhaps someone could confirm this?

Home style told us that there is no electric to the bathroom for a towel tail/radiator in the Jardines bathroom.

We'd also like to know about the lights as a rep for one of the furniture pack companies told us there were two ceiling lights but didnt mention the wall light for over a mirror.

Hi Jan

That was our recollection - two lights in the ceiling in the bathroom, but nothing on the wall for a wall light.  I remember looking at the bathroom ceiling and asking why there were two sets of wires and the Parador guy that was with us said one was for a normal light fitting and the other was for a spotlight type fitting to be angled towards a mirror above the wash basin.  

I think unless someone can confim otherwise, we will work on that basis and buy a single spotlight fitting to position towards the mirror - not sure how effective this will be but the way the wiring has been put in, I don't think there is anything else we can do.

I don't remember there being any type of wiring or power socket in the bathroom for an electric towel rail.

Debbie, thanks for that info. I expect we will wait for someone to finally confirm about the lights or until we see for ourselves, Although ajw seems to have wires for a wall light in her apartment. However, as every new comment seems to add a further light to these apartments by 9pm each night the national grid will be under great strain just supplying Condado!

When we ordered the POlaris radiators we were planning to have one in the bathroom but the rep we were dealing said there was no power supply to the bathrooms as Polaris had not anticipated anyone wanting heat in there- sadly we did and do so thats a further job.

Just wondering what the electricity bills will be like in view of all these lights!  We are shipping everything over from the UK so went to B&Q to buy lights the other night - came out with 28 lights altogether - 14 for each apartment.  I think there were 11 lights for inside and 3 outside!  That's quite a lot of lights for what are essentially fairly small (or shall we say 'compact') apartments!  

Inside, we have gone for the round ceiling light fittings each with three spotlights on (apart from the one single spot light fitting for the mirror in the bathroom).  So that means a total of 31 bulbs inside and 3 outside for each apartment!  Fortunately the light fittings from B&Q have bulbs included - let's hope they don't all blow at once!

One kitchen cupboard will be needed for storage of spare bulbs!
