A customer wants to put a chandelier over her jaccuzzi tub. The bathroom has a corner shower separate from the jaccuzzi. I have told her she can?t, code says no - even explained the tub/shower zone in the NEC, quoted 410.10(D). And even if I install it at the ceiling, it is still just 7' from the top edge of the tub - well inside the 8? rule. (or 7'6" if you stretch and call it a spa). So, she looked for pictures (online) and found a bunch of designers deemed 'professional' promoting this type of thing. For instance - http://brookegiannetti.typepad.com/velvet_and_linen/2008/11/a-before-and-after-feminine-bathroom.html is one. And http://thetileshopdesignbykirsty.blogspot.com/2010_02_14_archive.html is another that even says ?a really neat way to dress up a whirlpool?.
How are they getting away with this? Is there some exception that I am missing that allows this?
