Hi

I have a wall in my bathroom, on which I would like to place an
illuminated mirror. The nearest source of water is a bog pan on the
adjacent 90 degree wall, probably around 1.5m away, as the crow flies.
The basin is to the left of that, so farther away, and the bath even
further, being against the opposite wall. I have seen a mirror I like,
which says that it's approved for use in zone 3. Does it sound like my
proposed location *is* zone 3. I

Your proposed location is "outside the zones". (note Zone 3 does not exist
any more - it vanished in the 17th edition of BS7671)

So your mirror is fine in that location.


looked at the diagram at

http://www.allupandon.co.uk/lighting.../bathroomzones

and that appears to show a lit mirror above a basin, half in zone 2 and
half in zone 3. The notes with this diagram don't seem to make an awful
lot of sense. Is there a simple formula for what is considered safe in
which locations ?

Yup, as described he
