What the job includes
- A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
- Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
- IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
- Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
Decisions to make first
Mirror lighting
An illuminated mirror or mirror cabinet lights the face from the front, which a ceiling light cannot do. Many include a demister pad and a shaver socket.
Integrated or replaceable LED
Integrated LED downlights are slimmer and fully sealed. Fittings with replaceable lamps let you change brightness or colour later.
Rules that apply in England
In England, Part P makes a new circuit, a consumer unit replacement and any addition or alteration to circuits in a room with a bath or shower notifiable. The work must be done by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control. Replacing a light fitting like for like is not usually notifiable, but it still has to meet BS 7671.
