Shower Light

Mark58

I am bidding a bathroom remodel. I will be tearing out a tiled surround and steel tub and replacing with deeper plastic tub and surround. The customer wants a light installed in the soffit over the tub. Any problems with this setup? Suggestions? I have an attic above so I can get juice to the site.

Speedy Petey

No problem at all. Shower lights are very common.

Are they rated for wet locations?

They do not have to be rated for wet in that installation (not subject to shower spray).
The wording in 410.10(D) is clear on this.

Absolutely. As long as they are damp location rated.

Here is the Handbook commentary:

Besides, he says his customer wants a light IN the soffit. I'd call that a recessed light.

Speedy Petey

OK, let me re-phrase that then.

As long as they are damp location rated, and not recalled for dangerous safety issues.

Settle down Petey....now if I posted a pix other than the exploding shopping cart I could understand the emotions.

The picture frames or the lights?....

They do have glass covering the bulb/lens with a rubber gasket..

I've never seen those before. How on earth are those lights wired up inside a plumbing fixture? must be photoshopped. It has to be.
