Hello,
I don't like bathroom lights. I've been looking, but I just don't lik them! I'm re-doing my bathroom fairly traditional.
We're having a free-standing bath, but no shower - is there a proble with me putting in any old light fitting? If I need to get bathroo friendly ones, is there such a thing as a bathroom chandelier?
The room isn't enormous - probably about 3.5 x 3.5 metres. Th ceilings are about 9 feet high.
Any views, ideas or laws...?
Thanks A

You need to consider zoneing:
Looking at the diagram it seems you might be able to fit a small one in the "outsize zones" area with your 9' ceiling.
Heh! thats a bedroom.
Special area under Part P, if that bothers you at all .

What about thinking around concealed lighting so you can't see them, but they generate light to bounce off the walls/ceilings? Look to see where you might conceal lighting, such as on top of a cupboard. Another option is a fake window, which is actually a panel light -- works very well in rooms without windows, but probably not so well in rooms with real windows.
Without giving a date, "traditional" doesn't mean much.

The bath will presumably be fixed. You may be able to legally get away with a chandelier, in certain parts of the room if it is high enough. However, it will be difficult to clean and the water vapour will affect it so that it soon looks grotty. Both problems can be avoided by a suitable enclosed fitting. There are plenty on the market.
I'll need top check the book but I'm under the impression that All bathroom light fittings need to be at least IPx4. You can have a chandelier provided it complies (which is unlikely).
