I am replacing a bathroom light - it was a standard metal ceiling light fitting, in zone 1, connected using taped up chocolate block. Need we tremble. And it also acted as the junction for the entire upstairs lighting ring
However, the lights I can find which are formally noted as "for zone 1" are all dreadful - most look like they belong in a hospital or opther institution. Is there any reason why I cannot use any light, provided it is IP44 or better, where if it is 240v I use a 30ma RCD?
I have seen some outside lights, IP 65 rated, but nowhere does it suggest these are ok to use in a bathroom - is it not the case that ANY light that meets or beats the relevant IP rating is acceptable?
don't want LED, becuase they are not bright enough.
Any ideas anyone?
