Good afternoon!
I want to fit an IP44 rated light on my bathroom ceiling outside the shower and sink zone. The existing light is attached to a ceiling rose (picture), but the fitting for the new light cannot accept and contain the rose.
I am thinking about pushing the ceiling rose about an inch into the loft and putting it in a junction box resting above the new light (the new light is much larger than the rose and would cover the hole in the plaster board).
If I do this, does the junction box need the IP44 rating too or will the loft + IP44 light cover it?
I think it will, but if I do this, I might as well follow regulations unlike previous owners of my flat..
