Every listing here states the zone the fitting may be installed in, the IP rating with both digits explained, the colour rendering index, the lumen output and the efficacy in lumens per circuit watt. If a fitting is not suitable above a bath we say so on the page you are buying it from. If a mirror is backlit and will not light your face, we say that too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZone: zone 2 and outside the zones. Zone 2 is the 600mm band beyond zone 1 and the 600mm radius around a washbasin tap. It is not rated for zone 1, which means not directly over the bath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP rating: IP44. The first digit, 4, means protected against solid objects over 1mm. The second digit, 4, means protected against splashing water from any direction. It is the minimum for zone 2 and it is not enough for zone 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: varies by model, and the drop is adjustable from 300 to 1500mm by shortening the flex at the rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight output: taking a 6W E14 or E27 LED lamp, supplied, at 806 lumens and 88 lumens per circuit watt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour temperature: chosen above\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour rendering: CRI 95, measured, with R9 above 60. R9 is the deep red value and it is the one that decides whether skin looks like skin. Most bathroom fittings quote a CRI in the eighties and do not quote R9 at all, which is how you end up shaving by a light that makes you look ill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimming: mains dimmable with the lamp supplied. If you change the lamp, check the replacement is dimmable, because most decorative LED lamps are not\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrical: Class 1, earthed, with a gasketed ceiling rose and a sealed lamp holder.

This one is gasketed at the rose, at the holder and at the glass, which is why it costs what it costs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum height: 2.25 metres above the floor if it is over a bath, which is the top of zone 1 and where the rules change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLamp: supplied, dimmable, and replaceable without breaking the seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat arrives\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe pendant, assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe gasketed ceiling rose and gaskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe LED lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efixings for a ceiling rose or a joist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003einstallation instructions with the zone diagram\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA registered electrician. Electrical work in a room containing a bath or a shower is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations in England and Wales. That means it has to be done by a registered electrician or signed off by building control. Replacing a like for like fitting on an existing circuit is not notifiable. Adding a new circuit, a new socket or a new spur is. The rose is gasketed to the ceiling and the gasket has to sit on a flat, clean surface, so if the ceiling is textured it needs skimming flat under the rose. Set the drop before the final connection, because shortening a flex afterwards means breaking the seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoosing between this and the alternatives\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlmost every decorative pendant sold for a bathroom is IP20 and is therefore not lawful anywhere in zone 1 or zone 2, which is most of a normal bathroom. The retailers rarely say so and the photographs always show them over a bath. The zones come from BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. Zone 0 is inside the bath or shower tray. Zone 1 is above it to 2.25 metres. Zone 2 is the 600mm band beyond zone 1 and the 600mm radius around a basin tap. Outside those, the regulations impose no IP requirement, though a bathroom is still a bathroom and steam still rises. Every product page here states which zones the fitting is rated for. Everything on this page is gasketed and rated, and the zone is stated at the top of the specification rather than in a footnote.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bathe and Beam","offers":[{"title":"2700K warm white","offer_id":58023147110782,"sku":"BBM-PEN-039-27","price":1624.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3000K warm white","offer_id":58023147143550,"sku":"BBM-PEN-039-30","price":1624.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4000K neutral white","offer_id":58023147176318,"sku":"BBM-PEN-039-40","price":1624.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1021\/1527\/9230\/files\/IP44_Rated_Pendant_with_a_Fabric_Shade_in_Polished_Nickel.jpg?v=1789239800","url":"https:\/\/batheandbeam.com\/products\/ip44-rated-pendant-with-a-fabric-shade-in-polished-nickel","provider":"Bathe \u0026 Beam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
