[masma]

A friend has had this fitted in her bathroom, is it safe?

[anneasquith]

oh, just caught you there masma. any change ?

[masma]

^^ maybe I should've said would it be safe for bathroom use?

[Buenchico]

Assuming that it's switched via a pull cord it's perfectly safe.

If any part falls within zone 2..i.e. 2.25m from the floor..it will not comply...outside that zone.... I would still fail it on a EICR under the heading...is all installed equipment suitable for the environment.
Is it 30Ma RCD protected?
If a lamp shatters due to condensation or splashing not only will you be in the dark but you will need to get out of the bath/shower and walk on broken glass.

Its not good is it?

I wouldn't put it in my bathroom, it looks more like a living room fitting. My bathroom ceilings are tall and out of the 'zones' for proper bathroom fittings but I still only use them rather than standard ones on the advice of an electrician.

Prevention is better than cure!

Thank you all. This has been fitted in my pensioner friends bathroom and I had a feeling she'd been 'done'

Hi Anne.... Things not too bad at the mo. I had a dreadful Mothers Day, I don't know why it happened and neither does he. He said some awful things to me that I can't get out of my head, I don't feel as though I can trust him now and every little thing that happens I'm thinking the worst. It's such a shame coz he's such a caring soul normally - thank you for thinking of me it means so much xxx

masma..................I think enough is enough, im sorry to say this to you , anne.

Mr M is going to take the light fitting down today and replace it - once again, Thanks to you all.

Anne... I know you're right but I just couldn't do it, I'm too soft for my own good.

its not a bathroom light fitting, these should have enclosed light bulbs
