..need to complete the bathroom with a pair of wall lights in an alcove above the basin..these will be a meter from the basin taps..
Whats the regulations here? can I use ordinary fittings? Much better range of lights ...
Probably want a pair of frosted glass cylinders with CFL's in them..
Where are they in relation the the egde of the bath and/or shower?
Depends on the location of the bath and/or shower.

Provided they are out of reach of someone using a bath or shower, which is expressed in terms of Zones these days. There are also a few other requirements in terms of wiring and the like.
Thanks Dave..for some reason I missed 'sparks' posting..thanks 'sparks'. That was exactly what I wanted to know.
I thought this zone 2 around basins was made up by the manufacturers of lights trying to explain zones.
This is a better explanation of zones IMHO

That is indeed the case.
Possibly, though there are other possibilities.
