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 was always concerned about water  spray hitting a bare hot glass G.L.S. lamp and causing it to shatter, and with the bathroom user perhaps having bare feet that could be nasty. But I have never heard of such a thing happening. Some people fitted a glass "gold fish bowl" type of granny shade over the bulb years ago.
