Default light under bath?

Hello,

Happy New Year to you all.

I notice that my kitchen light is a bit off-centre and I think this is
because the bath is directly over the centre of the kitchen. Is there
a regulation regarding lights on the floor beneath a bathroom? I know
under a bath is zone 0 but I thought this stopped at the floorboards;
not beneath them.

Is there an electrocution risk if a light is directly beneath the
bath? I guess this is why my kitchen light was moved to one side. Is
there a regulation or safety reason preventing me moving the light?

Thanks.


as said no regulations on it. If it were mine I'd use a class 1 metal
earthed fitting though, that way if the bath overflows no-one gets
electrocuted.
