Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need Fire Rated Downlights in a Bathroom?
Yes, we highly recommend the use of fire rated bathroom downlights. Fire rated downlights, such as IP65 bathroom downlights are designed with a protective barrier that helps contain fires.
This minimises the risk of the fire from spreading to other parts of the building. Given the presence of water sources and potential moisture in bathrooms, the risk of electrical fires is heightened. Installing waterproof bathroom downlights adds an extra layer of safety and protection against fire hazards.
What Kind of Downlights Do I Need for the Bathroom?
When selecting downlights for the bathroom, it is essential to consider the IP rating and the Zone classification. For general bathroom use, downlights with a minimum IP44 rating, such as IP44 bathroom downlights, are recommended.
This rating ensures protection against water splashes from any direction, making them suitable for areas around sinks and bathtubs where water exposure is common.
Can You Put LED Downlights Above a Shower?
Yes, some LED downlights can be installed above a shower. That being said, small bathroom downlights intended for use above showers, such as LED bathroom downlights, IP65 should be the minimum rating.
It is also advisable to consult building regulations and guidelines to ensure compliance with safety standards. It is essential to have a professional install these lighting fixtures to minimise the risk of electrical hazards.
