Bathroom Halogen Downlights - query

[utterlydiy]

Can I have fitted, Extra Low Voltage type Halogen downlights over a bath with an Electric shower.

The bath would be enclosed with a shower curtain when in use. The Ceiling being 2.4mts high with a 300mm gap above the curtain rail.

Could I use these type of lamps in this environment as I want to use all the same looking lamps with a white face or do they have to be the water proof type.

Here's a link although i'm sure that the area above the bath "zone 0" goes all the way to the ceiling. Needs confirming by the elders on this forum

No, zone 0 is in the bath or shower tray, above this zone 1 which is 2.25m tall, and above this is zone 2, which extends infinatly, there is no zone 3 directly above bath/shower

@OP you can install your SELV lights in zone 1 or 2 as long as they are sealed to IP44 (look for ones specially designed for bathroom use)
