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.

    I know, which suggests IP65 would be acceptable, but comment by others that IP ratings are not cumulative suggests that for an IP65 fitting to be used, the fitting must also state that it will give IPX4 protection as well - i.e. don't assume that IP65 will give IPX4 protection, unless the fittings states it so. I don't know where they're getting their information from about not being cumulative, as I agree with previous posts in this thread, but that's their position - very odd.
