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.

    Did we really have any serious problems years ago with a bare 60 Watt filament bulb fitted in a bathroom ceiling "Home Office" skirted batten holder.


    Fires, shock, explosion or world society meltdown?
