What the job includes
- Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
- Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
- A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
- IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
Decisions to make first
Switching
A pull-cord inside, a switch outside the door or a motion sensor. Dimmers need LED fittings that are compatible with them.
Downlight positions
Evenly spaced downlights give flat, general light. Placing one over the shower and one over the basin puts the light where you actually use it.
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.
