I understand that the regulations don't allow light switches in
bathrooms. For this purpose, what does 'in' mean?

I have an L shaped bathroom, door at the end of the short limb, bath
at the end of the long limb. Long limb 2m wide x 3m long, short
limb 75cm long x 1m wide.

I'd really like to put a standard light switch in the room by the
door. The switch would not be in line of sight from the bath or
shower, it is definitely "Outside zones". I can't stand pull
switches near doors!

So is this permitted?

Does this help?

Thanks, but no it doesn't. If I read it the way I want to, then I can
put the switch where I want it, it is well outside the zones. But other
advice says 'no light switches in the bathroom'. As I don't have copy
of the 17th ed. regs, and this is my last electrical project, I was
hoping some real electrician, like Adam, might help me with a simple
answer!
