Zone 0Â is inside the bath or shower itself and any fittings used here must be low voltage (max 12v) and be rated IPX7, which is total protection when immersed in water.
Zone 1Â is above the bath to a height of 2.25m. A min of IPX4 is required here. Also if the light fitting is 240v, it must be protected by a 30ma RCD
Zone 2Â is an area stretching to 0.6m outside the bath and above the bath if over 2.25m. An IP rating of at least IPX4 is required here.
Zone 3 is no longer defined and is just “Outside Zones”. Protection required is   IP20 for normal domestic use.
A wide range of bathroom light fittings are available in our online shop. We have traditional IP44 rated wall lights from the same range as the conventional light fittings. This allows you to continue a theme from bedroom or dressing area through to your bathroom or bedroom ensuite.
