[QUOTE="binky, post: 360999, member: 490"] Zones extend to the ceiling, so there's always an argument that the 240V bit is actually out of the zone being above the ceiling. However, all fittings need to be suitable for the environment, so anything not IP rated isn't really suitable because of steam, hence we stopped fitting ordinary pendants many years ago, especially directly above the shower itself. I would be inclined to have a look at he quailty of the connections aswell ie. they haven't been done with a bit of connector block. I would also check were the bathroom fan exhausts to if you have a ceiling mounted unit ie it isn't pumping steam into the attic and has been vented to the outside world - seen a few bathroom companies do that!
