Non ip rated bathroom light in zone 2 what you reckon guys
Code 2 or
Code 3

C2, imho.

I think it depends on the type of existing light. I think im right in saying that 16th permitted batten holder with home office skirt, I might be wrong. I have just tested an old peoples home & they have enclosed fittings in the bathrooms but are not IPX4 so IMO C3

You have to test to the current regs so code 2 IMO !

 

[telectrix]

are you sure it's in zone 2? 2.24m height.

 

[m1ck_b87]

100% sure tel

 

[telectrix]

then, IMO< against general opinions expressed so far, code 3, i can't really see it as a potential danger.

 

[m1ck_b87]

Personally I think code 3 unless any1 has got any reference to say otherwise.

 

[Mike66]

What type of light fitting is it?

Personally I think code 3 unless any1 has got any reference to say otherwise.

IMO its down to you as the person testing the premises and deciding what code if any is required. You have first hand experience and have seen the fitting in question and as long as you are happy that it is not a potential danger fair enough! As can be seen from some of the replies some think differently !
