Fitting Bathroom Downlights

[ScottishGasMan]

Hey all, on the recommendation of the guys in here I'm just about to purchase some Halers H2s for my bathroom.

Room is about 3mx2m so reckon I would need about 5 or 6 (no window in bathroom)

There IP65 rated and state bathroom zone 1, So I assume by this it will be fine to fit one directly above the shower enclosure?

Are they self sealing to the ceiling? As in do I need any additional protection to prevent steam entering the void above? (false ceiling, about 4-5 inch high before hitting original ceiling with insulated loft above)

Also they are to be fitted to an RCBO protected lighting circuit supplying kitchen/utility room lights/extractor fan/bathroom mirror light.

They can be used in zone 1.

If the ceiling is smooth, then they should seal properly. A textured ceiling is not suitable.

Thats fine, plenty of height on ceiling above shower for that, and its going to be a plastic clad ceiling stuck over whats their anyway. Just wsnt sure if there was additional work to be done to ensure a good seal

My bathroom is about that size.

I find it is perfectly lit with just 1 light.

I wonder if that's because I'm using a light which is designed to light up rooms, rather than ones which are designed to not do that?
