[Farmelectrics]

[Farmelectrics]

[Farmelectrics]

Code 3 if you want to document the fact.

If It's outside of the zones general rules apply. No code as it complies with Bs7671.

If you think about it the "zones" aspect to IP lights is a really stupid interpretation!

Whatever the height, if a non ip rated lamp blows, gravity will "ensure" the debris ends up on the floor or in the bath or shower. In this respect IP rated lights should really be a must in a bathroom, irrespective of the height IMHO

If it is near the bath/shower, and halogen - i.e. hot, then C3 for me, both for risk of hot glass, also waving arms about (with towel). But if LED lamp is fitted and not hot, probably no code.

Same applies anywhere...if you are in the kitchen and a load of hot glass drops into your hair....dinner(!!) or any where else it's just as bad. I understand where you are coming from but IMO the only consideration as far as an EICR is concerned is does it comply with regulations. Bringing personal opinions into EICR's is why two experienced electricians carrying out a report on the same installation may end up with two different reports. If the only consideration is compliance with regulations that would be less likely.
