Lights in zone 1 of swimming pool

[shedi123]

If lights fall within zone 1 of a swimming pool they must be SELV. But,
if they are IPx2 or IPx5 rated and covered by a 30mA RCD is this also acceptable?
Thanks

FFS. Do you have a copy of BS7671. If not, why are you installing equipment in a swimming pool?

Get yourself a copy and read it

In particular 702.410.3.4.1
It doesnt say "maybe"
There are no get out clauses . Here's an overview

IPx2? Don't be stupid

Having not yet done my 17th I just wanted to ask a quick question.
I know under the 16th you could not have a mains volt fan in zone 1 but an SELV fan was ok. Under the 17th, can you have a mains volt fan in zone one if it is protected by an RCD?
Thanks

Shedi - you'll struggle to get your 2382 unless you do have a copy and can read....

BAS, i'm going from memory, I don't carry my regs with all the time, I have a life i suppose.....
What do past posts have to do with it? And by the way, I'm not installing a thing in a swimming pool just simply a question.
Honestly, advice is what I want and what most people that come on here want, not a lecture of what i should and shouldn't do!

My regs book is right here next to my PC.

The On Site guide is in the van.

Doing one's job properly doesn't have any bearing on one's personal life. There's a time for work and a time for play, and you need to have the right hat on when you're commissioning any kind of electrical installation where there will be people, water and electricity in close proximity. Not having your regs with you just doesn't wash.
