Can I Install a 240V Light Fitting in a Bathroom?

The short answer is yes as a standard fitting, provided it is outside of the zones deemed unsafe (refer to Australian Standards). If a pendant is inside the protected zones then it will need to be either low voltage (12 Volts AC), IPX4 rated, or double insulated. Where this zone occurs in a bathroom is often the complex issue for designers and electricians alike.  The friendly consultants from Caribou can guide you through the regulations and advise what is possible within your specific wet area space.
