bathroom zones

[whiskyman]

Hi, can anyone help, I have 3 new GU fire rated downlights and I want to fit them in my bathroom but 1 of them will be in a zone 2 area next to the bath/shower, the downlight is IP 20. The guy at TLC Electrical said it would be fine. I know I can buy a IP65 shower room downlihgt but they are fixed and not tilt, which I need, I am also using a high power LED 3w
lamp which needs airflow around the lamp, so i am told. I just need a second opinion.
Thanks.

Do you intend to comply with the law regarding the installation of these?

I take it they are for decoration, not for lighting the room?

the downlight is IP 20. The guy at TLC Electrical said it would be fine.

The guy at TLC is horribly wrong - you need IPx4 as a minimum in Zone 2.

What's above the bathroom? You may need a complete change of plan rather than a second opinion....
