Where the power comes from is the whole question · review
A touchless tap with an adjustable temperature limiter — the specification that decides whether a sensor tap suits a bathroom rather than only a cloakroom — from a range the maker states has a successor.
The bottom line The sensor tap that solves the cold-water problem this shelf usually has. It costs the most, it names its own successor, and it still leaves the power source unstated.
An electronic infrared basin tap with a variable temperature limiter, a quick-fit installation system, and a chrome finish.
A variable temperature limiter. Most sensor taps at any price deliver a single temperature, set at the valves under the basin — which in practice means cold. A limiter is set during installation and caps how hot the tap runs, which makes it usable as a bathroom basin tap rather than only as a hand-wash point.
It is not a mixer: you do not choose the temperature each time. For a basin, that is usually the better arrangement.
A successor product is named. That is unusually straightforward of a manufacturer, and it is worth acting on: check which of the two is stocked where you are, and whether anything you care about changed.
Power source, sensing range, run-on time. The first decides whether the installation is plumbing or regulated electrical work, and if a mains supply is required, that is an electrician’s job in a damp room.

A limiter sets a ceiling — the tap delivers a mix up to a temperature set during installation, and no hotter. A mixer lets you choose freely each time. For a basin used for washing hands, a limiter set once is usually the more sensible arrangement.
That is worth checking, and the maker names it in this listing rather than hiding it. What matters is which of the two is actually stocked on your market, and whether the specification you care about changed between them.
