IP65 light fitting in bathroom zone 2?

Farmboy
Electrical equipment in zone 2 in a bathroom must be rated at minimum IPX4 (excluding shaver units...), so, can an IP65 (circular bulkhead style) light fitting be used in zone 2? Mention was made elsewhere that IP ratings are not cumulative, suggesting that e.g IP65 would not be suitable in a minimum IPX4 area.

    In this case IPx4 is no mechanical protection against ingress of dust  wires or fingers ,(first digit, the x means 'any') and protected against splashing (the 4)


    IP 65 is dust tight (the 6) and protected against water jets.


    If it passes IP 65 it must pass  IPx4 ...
