Lighting in bathtub shower

[macmikeman]

And also next time an inspector tells you that a fixture has to be "specifically listed for a shower" let him have a look at this from Mr. Holt. Pay attention to the underlined text at the bottom of page. http://www.mikeholt.com/newsletters.php?action=display&letterID=397

There's no need to apologize here. No one is offended and we're all just offering opinions. But you can say One Our Father and 10 Hail Marys if you wish to cleanse your soul my son.

Or, you can write "I'm sorry" ten times on the back of a $20 bill and mail it to...

I had the pleasure of installing 3 rectangler lights 3"x6" in a concrete wall with tile. The first light was 18" off the floor and continued at 18" spacing. The lights are wet location and no problem with inspection. The shower belong to a wealthy architect.

Have the architect redesign one of the walls with glass block, and put couple of HO fixtures behind it:grin: The fixtures would be outside the requirement, and she would be able to work on her tan to boot!

Here is the deal, its legal, providing you use (ready Dennis?) wet location listed fixtures, but I still didn't like doing it one bit. Once I got signed off on it, provided for my defense with double fault clearing protection, and had a very long and very public discourse with the dwelling owners trying to convince them to use recess "WL" or "DL" fixtures instead and they still wanted what the bonehead drew on the plans, I put it in, passed inspection cause it met code, and got paid. The end.

Come on now, I was just the messenger. I did understand what you meant. I truly was not scolding or chastising you just trying to explain Goldstars comments.

Either way -- I can take it. :grin: In my opinion if it is WP then it is listed for wet location.

Thanks for the link to the news letter it confirmed exactly what I have been trying to tell a builder and city inspector.

I did an outside shower a few years ago, and she wanted lights on the wall like this. Used low voltage, landscape type lights that are made to wall mount. Everyone was happy.

Fiber Optics ?

I was thinking of an fiber optic that is lit by a source outside the shower bath zone.
