timo

Putting up an extra light point to existing circuit and whilte testing noticed the bathroom lights are not sealed. just normal downlight that have no seal to provent moisture. Whats best way to note on cert?

thanks
 
Deffo not IP rated, a brushed plate is on the front of them but it just pulls off. No ruber seal no kind on seal at all. Also Gu10's too. normally i use 12v with IP and fire rated fittings only.
 
what zone is it in, if outside ( also check ceiling heights) no ip requirement at all ( nothing wrong with mains either)
(and if no bedroom above probably no fire requirements either)

oooh worms can open:)
