I am working on a bathroom remodel for a blind woman who lives alone. Bathroom was constructed pre-GFCI. She doesn't want GFCI because she can't feel the buttons to operate it. Also, the way she plugs things in in downright scary, she holds the prongs on the plug and feels for the holes in the recptacle face. She says she been doing it for 30 years with no problems.
I really want to put in GFCI protection, but it needs to be functional for her.
Does anyone know of a GFCI device for the blind?
As for a GFCI breaker, old dwelling, so other loads are on with the bathroom, including fluorescents with electronic ballasts. Does anyone know if ellectronic ballasts nuisance trip GFCI like magnetic ballasts do?
Thanks as always for all of your help.
