Bathroom Lights

Off the top of my head I think it's not a goa to put a pendant fitting anywhere in a bathroom. No doubt some anorak will know for sure.

I would have to ask, why do you want to do this? You can get a huge selection of tasteful fittings suitable for the kazee or just get a globe fitting off of SF for like a tenner or something.

 

the regs say
if installed more then 0.6 metres from the edge of a shower basin or bath, no special fitting is required but the luminaire must be of a suitable desing for the conditions

 

in all my hours of experience ive neva seen a pendant in a bathroom,a definite no no ,but no doubt the regs men will prove me wrong later in the show!

 

SEE!!

 

shrew i agree with you its a big no no but was just quoting the reg

 

jokin aside, i luv the regs men cato...

 

yeah i love them to they make everything so simple for us

 

SB, you haven't been proved wrong.

The quote in the regs said 'specifically designed for the conditions'.

A pendant is NOT specifically designed for the conditions, so still a no-no.

The regs can be clear.



Mr. HandyAndy - really

 

As I look out of my back window (the kitchen), I can see a new bathroom, it has a pendant light fitting and I'm pretty certain sockets as well (it was a bedroom), and if if you could see the awful plumbing...:|

 

You must be joking OFCOURSE you can fit a pendant in a bathroom !

Ok, Loks, apart from the afore mentioned, I've never seen one..explain..confused..

 

outside three sir?

 

SORRY IN THREE SIr?

 

damm ale!

 

Exactly Captain ,there you go extension,Zone 3, in general terms if the pendant is at least 600mm from edge of bath or shower then no probs

 

No, surely.(don't call me shirley - I've heard it)


A pendant isn't suitable because the design would allow steam build-up to run down the flex and into the holder, where the lectrics is. Even outside zones.



Mr. HandyAndy - really

 

I've still NEVER seen one, visited 60 or more installations since April and the answer is still no..even in zone 3 I still would say no..

And I started with the 14th edition..

Although I've not been in many BIG bathrooms..

 

I'd never fit one full stop..

 

No, surely.(don't call me shirley - I've heard it)

could never imagine steam build up on a flex :^O think your mind is working overtime.
