I have 6 downlighters fitted in my bathroom - including 2 above a sink which are not as high as 2.2 m. They are mains voltage, not IP rated. I know this is not 'ideal'. The wiring is in the loft. They were in when I moved in 14 yrs ago, covered by a letter of comfort (we are in Scotland)
One of the fittings is showing signs of being a bit dodgy (doesn't work sometimes etc) and I am thinking of replacing it
(I put in click connectors a few years ago as I was decorating, no natural light, so I could disconnect one or two at a time - so really easy to do)
But just wondering if I should bite the bullet and replace them all with low voltage - stick in a transformer in the feed and replace all the fittings...use the existing wiring?
How feasible does that sound? Would it be 'illegal'?
I am pretty sure I can just replace the one fitting like with like and it wouldn't be a problem ...
