Standard Ceiling Rose in Bathroom

[Jamierez]

Hi,

Can a bog standard ceiling rose light fitting be used in a bathroom? or does there have to be a special light fitting? I need to get the light fitting in the bathroom replaced and would like to know if I need anything special.

Thanks in advance

What zone is the fitting in?

Thanks for the response. I haven't measured up exactly, but it would look like it is on the border of zone 2 and 3.

Edited: Just measured up and the placement for the light will be above 225cm and just over 60cm away from bath area. So more Zone 3 that Zone 2.

ZOne 3 doesnt exist any more (17th ed.)

I'm only 2 months out of date

Light fitting placement isn't in a zone going by the new guidelines.

Even the flex, lampholder & lamp?

Even the flex, lampholder & lamp?

The unit hasn't been replaced yet, so only going by what is currently there. I was just checking to see if the old unit (metal box type thing that was, must be at least 15 years old) could be replaced with a standard ceiling rose.

That's what I'm getting at.

It can, as long as all parts of the ceiling rose & lamp are outside the zones.
