What the job includes
- Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
- Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
- A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
- A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
Decisions to make first
Integrated or replaceable LED
Integrated LED downlights are slimmer and fully sealed. Fittings with replaceable lamps let you change brightness or colour later.
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.
