wireless 120 volt outlets? haven't seen those yet. you can add an outlet in the bathroom, but gotta follow the rules: all bathroom outlets are required to be GFCI protected, to keep you from really curling your hair(lol), and need to be on a 20-amp circuit, for those high wattage blow dryers and curling irons. I really wouldn't want a standard lamp in the bathroom, due to the humidity causing corrosion in the electrical components. that old electrician may not be TOO expensive all things considered-we gotta eat too!

Both our bathrooms are quite large, especially the MB, however, each has only one outlet - in the most inconvient spot. I understand not mixing water and electricity but cords stretched across two sinks aren't too safe either.
It makes cutting in new outlets through plaster and lathe almost fun.
There is a switch for an exhaust fan on the opposite wall with at least 8' of solid wall between the shower and the tub. Is the exhaust switch the right type and/or would it be feasible to run an outlet off this switch, below it a couple of feet? Thinking of easiest and cheapest way to get a second outlet in there, mainly to add a lamp to the table on that wall and avoid having everything plugged into the one existing plug. Conversely, they did add an outlet in the closet which would be easy to cut through the wall, but it's on the wrong side of the room where one is needed. I don't want to tear up the walls fishing cord down nor have to come up underneath the house.....the electrician charges too much for labor and wire :)
What's involved in the ones I see advertised that need no wiring - and do they actually work?
