Lack of shower proof fittings

[Bob Geldoff1234]

I am doing a condition report and in the bathroom they have 8 led downlights. None over the shower but two over seperate bath. They are just ordinary gu10 downlights and not shower proof. I am thinking C3 but then on the other hand maybe just a comment and no code. What do you guys think?

ceiling height is a factor here. above 2.25m will take it outside zone 1.

2.3 metres

2.3 metres

i refer the honorable gentleman to fig 8.1 in osg (green version). clearly states 2.25m.

I think @Bob Geldoff1234 post #3 is referring to the actual height of the ceiling... or have I just misread another post...

arrrgh.my bad. i see now.if his ceilingis 2.3m, then it's compliant with BS7671 so no code or comment needed, esp. if they are LEDs and not liable to drop red-hot bits of glass onto whoever is in the bath.

If it is above the hight of 2.3mtr no codes should be put .i agree with master yoda.

Cheers guys. Yes I was refering to the ceiling height at the job. Do you think its worth a comment or just dont mention it at all?

i'd comment if the bulbs were halogens. had one explode over the bath once. if LEDs then i'd not comment.

If it’s located outside the zones it Still should be suitable for the environment in which it operates and is fixed, so if there’s no signs of water ingress or corrosion then I wouldn’t code it
