      Just FYI - I added a string of LEDs that are powered by a USB socket last night. Installed 'em under the edge of the frame, pointing towards the wall. My wife picked them up on sale for some reason. They plugged right in to the USB slot on the travel charger. Now they switch on along with the mirror.

        Nice! Where did she find them?

            Thanks, but how could you possibly know where his wife got them on sale? ;-)

            Peace!

              In case anyone comes back to this thread, I found a good option for a power strip: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01JRXRTC2/ref=psdc_10967801_t1_B00XHORWES

              It’s only slightly larger than the one suggested by @bhepler, but it has 2x the cord length. Also, it has an on/off switch.

                @oldversions That’s nice. With some right-angle plugs, you’d be good to go with that.
