Bathroom zone

i Have recently had my loft converted into a bedroom with an en-suite, my issue lays there is very little room in the en-suite and from the floor to the ceiling is 1.8m , will 230v IP rated downlights be okay in there? Or will these have to be 12v?

    I'm a bit surprised that got past Building Control... the likes of me wouldn't even able able to stand up under that. (I know the old precise minimum ceiling height regulations have gone, but I thought there was still a requirement for reasonableness...).


    Seems reasonable to me - 5' 7". ?


    So is this a shower room or a bathroom? If the former, that must require a bit of contortion to wash one's hair.
