LV Downlights for Bathroom
Hello All
I plan to install some IP44 rated LV downlights for my wetroom and I'm just wondering the correct way to go regarding wiring these up. I will have 6 in total. A few questions spring to mind: 1. Should I RCD protect them and if so how? I am only familiar with an RCD on a socket 2. Is IP44 ok for above a shower, distance from fixed head is about .5 metre. I was looking at IP65 but it looks as though IP44 should be ok. 3. Should I run each transformer from a single junction box or should I use multiple junction boxes? if multiple how do I go about doing this, do I just daisy chain them having a live out and a neutral out and so on and so forth and running the switched live between them? 4. Whats the formula to determine if my existing circuit will be capable of the extra load? how do I work all this out. TIA Cheers Richard |
