Is a mains lamp IP44 lamp like
Who says it is?
The listing says zones 1-3 when ceiling mounted.

Sorry I meant zone one.
Well AFAIK the IPx4 rating means that by definition it's suitable for zone 1, unless I'm mistaken?

I think I read something that said it had to be IP65 for zone one but I am not really sure. The one I am replacing isn't IP anything but its half in zone one.
The requirement is IPx4 for all equipment in zones 1 and 2, or IPx5 if water jets will be used for cleaning [701.512.2, 17th ed.]. This does not apply to shaver supply units to BS EN 61558-2-5 provided they're mounted so that direct spray from a shower is unlikely.
In zone 0 it's IPx7 and zone 3 will shortly cease to exist.
30 mA RCD protection is required for all circuits of course, if you're working to the 17th ed.
So you can clean them with a hose but not spray them with a shower? 8-)
Well it's not getting an rcd on the main light. The last thing I need is for it to go dark for no reason. It will have one on the rest though.
