recessed lights over bath tub

[Stevenfyeager]

Recessed lights over a bath tub are allowed because in 410.10 D, they are not mentioned, correct ? Only lights that protrude down require the 8' rule, but recessed lights can be less than the 8' ?

Still has to be rated for a wet location but this is accomplished by using a proper trim.

Yes a recessed can light can be installed over a shower within the shower zone. If subject to shower spray they need to be rated for wet locations otherwise damp location lgihts would work.

Just did a master bath shower that has four 3” recessed, one led light bar over a waterfall, a $3400 lighted rain head! 9’ ceiling though! The rest of the bath has twelve 4” recessed, four wall vanity lights, and two exhaust fans! And almost forgot, a color changing led strip recessed into the ceiling tray the entire perimeter of the bath room!

My ! What a job ! Once I had to install a fogless mirror in a tiled shower wall. I didn't realize people shave while showering. Somehow it didn't seem right to have electric in a shower wall. It was made for it, we had to gfci protect it of course. Heated shower floors also seem strange to me.

I guess if I was wanting to waste some $$$ I have much different ideas of what to waste it on

Young kid that owns a booming excavation business. He was complaining why the job is costing twice as what was quoted! Used at least 300’ of wire in just the bathroom alone!

Just of interest are like these recessed over the bath tube?



They are 12V halogen. I don't see those as a problem but maybe that's just UK.

I have for most of my life. But then, I don't use an electric razor.
