Advice needed on bathroom lights please

[kaza]

I am having a new bathroom put in the bath is going to have the side panels tiled and I was thinking about having some recessed lights along the bottom of the bath panel.

Would these be ok?

If not what do I need?

Many thanks for your time

Don't see any problem, I have similar myself. (wife hassled me for ages) I would not put the driver for them under the bath though. I would try to site outside in a cupboard maybe. That way there would be no reason to gain access under the bath or mains voltage being present. Please be aware restrictions apply to supplies within a room containing a bath or shower and be notifiable as a special location. For what the cost would be, I would strongly recommend you seek the advice of a local electrician who can look at your current installation and explain what is required as on a web forum we are unable see your property or what other factors may apply. There may even be someone on here that is local. Hope this is of help to you.

Think long and hard before deciding to tile the bath panels.

Think what happens when something leaks.

Think what happens if the bath taps need replacing.

I wouldn't do it unless there was some other access to the taps end of the bath.

I have seen it done before, it looks nice. It had been tiled and 2 tiles at the tap side were accessible. The way it was done looked really good, I could hardly tell that they were accessible.

I hate those things in bathrooms. We have fitted something like this Low Profile LED Tape - Weatherproof IP67 - Warm White - 5 Mtrs both under the plinth of the bath & all the way round the bathroom buried in between the bottom and 1st row up tiles instead of grout.
