It only needs to be listed for damp location since it is not subject to shower spray and is within the zone (3") of the tub.

I agree and most of the bathroom fixtures I've seen are so marked.

When the pic first came up on the screen I couldn't see the tub so I thought, what's the big deal.

Scroll down to fit screen and holy crap!

Another tub thead. :smile:

People sure do like a lot of options while bathing.

A good jolt in the morning is better than a cup of coffee. Less jitters and it keeps you humble. :cool:
 
Are we sure those lights are electric? They look like gas lights to me.

No matter, I am always impressed with any type of fixture or receptacle mounted on a mirror. I can't get a NASCAR sticker straight on one so I am in awe of a person that can cut an accurate hole in a mirror without screwing it up. Cutting glass was not part of our apprenticeship.

Thanks Dennis, to me that sums it up. :smile:

There is no NEC volition if these are listed for damp locations.

And they would say 'Why the heck did this client send a picture of a nice bathroom?'

How is it different then a wall sconce on the side of the front door of the house?

The NEC allows it because it is not unsafe if you follow the other rules as well.

I suggest you call the power company and have them disconnect the power to your home ASAP.
