Bathroom Lighting Zones Explained

Bathroom Lighting zone information

Zone 1 - Is the area above the bath or shower to a height of 2.25m from the floor. In this zone a minimum rating of IP44 is required. If the fitting is 240V a 30mA Residual Current Device (RCD) must also be used to protect the circuit.

Zone 2 - Is an area stretching 0.6m outside the perimeter of the bath or shower and to a height of 2.25m from the floor. A Zone 2 fitting is permitted directly over the bath or shower at a height of over 2.25m. In this zone an IP rating of at least IP44 is required. It is also good practise to consider the area around a wash basin, within a 60cm radius of any tap to be considered as Zone 2.

Zone 3 - Is anywhere outside Zones 1 and 2. A fitting with a rating of IP20 or more is required. If water jets are used for cleaning purposes in any zone a minimum rating of IP65 must be used. These details are provided as a guide only. Please consult a qualified electrician or the latest copy of the IEE wiring regulations for further information.
