My flat was converted in the late 1980's and has a small bathroom with a single 40W light and an extractor fan.
The 240V extractor is directly over the bath near the taps and shower. The light is in-line with the edge of the bath.
Although professionally converted, this seems pretty dodgy these days.
I've bought 4 GU10 IP65 shower downlights (240V) and I'd like to fit one above the bath/shower. And I'd like to replace the extractor with a humidity activated one.
The bathroom ceiling is 2502mm high and 1900mm above the bath.
My questions are:
a) Is it OK to put a 240V IP65 downlight above the bath/shower?
b) Do I electrically arrange the downlighters in a star using a junction box?
c) I'm very capable with electrics (used to work on 25KV in the RAF). Does any of this work need to be done by a qualified electrician?
d) Is any of this work notifiable?
Cheers.
