IP20 in Bathroom Zone 1

[Deleted member 99376]

I'm hoping for a bit of advice from the experts here.

Our electrician has fitted an IP20 rated downlight above the shower in our new bathroom. He says this is fine as the GU10 LED bulb is a sealed unit and therefore "won't explode."

I'm not convinced that it's entirely safe as I would expect an IP44 rated fitting as an absolute minimum. That said, I'm far from being an expert so may well be mistaken.

240V GU10 LED lamps then

Still be nice to hear it from the OP rather than speculation on what it is, they may be MR16 for all I know and the OP is relying on the installer as to nomenclature. Its just that I am not too quick to jump to the conclusion that someone allegedly an electrician has made such a obvious error so looking for other explanations.

Before the NICEIC send Tony and Darren round they would want the complainant to contact the electrical contractor in the 1st instance to see if the matter can be resolved. What has the electrician said regarding it.
