    can someone confirm if i have read the regs correctly. if a light fitting is 0.6m away from a bath it is outside the zones so it could be a pendant fitting if you wanted one. Thanks

    Shaver socket very close to bath?

    As the title says. The shaver socket has been 1st fixed on the right hand side of the wash basin, but due to the close proximity of the bath, the shaver socket falls just inside the edge of the bath.Wil this need to be moved? If so how far?
