Bathroom Ceiling light

[Bas]

Can anyone advise:

Bathroom light on ceiling approx 2.4m high. Do I have to use a specifically designed light for bathrooms or can a normal pendant be used?

Thanks

thanks for the replies. Are pendant fittings against the regs for bathrooms? I'm going for part p and this bathroom may be one I will have inspected. I can't see the specific reg but I'm sure there is one!

yes. pendants are too low down for bathroom use

depends on the size of the bathroom, my bathroom is big enough to allow one as it doesn't drop into any zones.

i think that is onnly 50% of the reason. lamp is on (gets hot) some one points shower at it ( for what ever rerason) glass explodes as its now cold, glass everywhere. it has to be suitable for use in a bathroom, remember the old "globe light" the globe protected the lamp from damp
