Hi,
I have recently had a bathroom installed my a company, they carried out all of the work themselfs, with the only exception being that they brought in a tiler.
After speaking to an electrician at my work, he highlighted that I should have received a minor works certificate for the altering of the lighting in the bathroom. I originally had 2 spotlights, and now I have 4.
I then asked about the zones of a bathroom, and he informed me that the light directly above the shower cubicle should be a low voltage IP rated unit, and depending on the distances to other lights from the shower then they might have to be aswell. I told him that I had 240v non IP rated lights fitted, to which he said I should phone up the company and have them rectify the issue.
All I am looking for on here is a second opinion before I contact the company, definately not doubting the guy, as he is quite experienced, just looking for different opinions on the issue.
I can take and upload pictures if required.
thanks
