  • Yes and no. I have no actual experience of installing bathroom lights. I have no sense of what people actually install. I've just finished my course which included a big design project including a swimming pool, and with my limited knowledge I feel like if I was going to the effort of changing a light, I'd probably want something that seems protected from the environmental conditions. In this case IP65 seems about right.

    Thinking about it, the downlights in our bathroom kill bulbs relatively quickly - I suspect they aren't IP rated to any degree. But I know that a lot of the electrics in here aren't up to the regs.

  • I would say that's nothing to do with steam, but all to do with the heat. Install LED bulbs - even those in Pound shop are OK if you don't feel like spending much. I have downlights in small, steamy bathroom and not had a problem since LED bulbs were put in.
