Household Garage Lighting Installations

[Curious J]

Hi,

I've been told, Fluorescent lighting within domestic household garages needs to be of IP54 (enclosed luminaire). The current lights are std battens, without diffusers.

In the case of the garage in question, the lights are around 2.5mtrs from floor level, well away from external influences such as rain & the garage is fitted with a roller door.

I can't find any detail in the regulations that cover garage lighting, any thoughts anyone?

Thanks.

Nothing wrong with your standard fluorescent batten fittings. Different matter if we were talking about a commercial garage installation, but it's not ...lol!!
