If I buy lights online from a German company will they work here ?
Similiar re a bathroom vanity cupboard will electrical wires be ok. I see that they use 220V in Germany but different plugs. Any idea ?
In case it's relevant - In Germany you can have plugs in a bathroom. It is normal to have sockets in German bathrooms for hairdryers etc.
Last week I used my hair straighteners in a German bathroom. I used an adapter due to the different plugs.
No issue with buying lights in Germany and use them in Ireland. You might replace the plug or use an adapter if it is a plug-in lamp, but that’s the extend of it.
No sockets allowed in bathrooms in Ireland though, beyond shaving sockets.
Official voltage in Germany 230, not 22V. EU voltage is harmonised at 230V +10% / -6%, all fittings and appliances sold within the EU must operate safely within this range.
I won’t be plugging anything in. What I’m looking at is ceiling lights and wall lights. So I anssume those will be ok. Specifically I’m enquiring about mirrored bathroom cabinets. Has anyone bought any of them from German websites ?
Not quite what you are asking but I have bought car and bike parts from European websites.
Biggest thing I found is the need to watch shipping method and costs.
DHL is not Deutsche post.
