Hi, i've just fitted a shower into my bathroom and upon taking my first shower i looked up to see the water spray covering the light fitting, i don't know what sort of light it is but it looks very cheap and nasty (was here before i moved in) and its 240v, with 3 halogen bulbs which you can direct
I've just read about electrics in the bathroom and have measured it and it falls within zone 1, i now know i need to get an ipx4 light fitting but it says it has to be on a 30mA rcd, but the upstairs light circuit is not on the rcd side of the board, its only protected by a 6a mcb.
what are my options? i can't seem to find a low voltage light rated at ipx4 which is not a spot light as i don't like them, are there any low voltage normal looking light fittings (that look like mine, see picture) that will conform to ipx4 or will i just have to have spot lights or put the lighting cicuit on the rcd side of the cu
have a look at this link to see the light and any advice would be very helpful thank you
