I have read the regs and i still cant say i definitely understand the situation around this. The regs state that for mains luminaires to go in zone 2 they must be IPX4. When i read the section on SELV or PELV i think its saying as long as the main supply is behind an enclosure (In the loft in this case) then its ok to put this in zone 2 but what i cant find for sure is does it still need to be IPX4
The light position will be 2.25 mtrs plus above the floor and 1.5mtr plus away from the shower head but still within the footspace of the bath. It will not be 3mtr above the floor.
Normally i would use IP65 lights because they have the seal and they help prevent moisture entering the loft space. But in this case i am looking for a directional downlight and IP65 types dont fit the bill. IPX4 lights only seem to move the casing not the lamp when they are claiming to be tiltable. Again not whats wanted. The best rating i have found for the design required is IP20 available in LV and ELV hence my question.
