Hi,
I am hoping to install a spot light over the shower. I know I need to get a special light for this that is compliant to zone 1. B&Q have these for between 14 and 22 euro, depending on whether you want chrome finish etc. Anyway, on the packaging it says that it must be connected to a 30 mA RCD. I had hoped to connect it to the same wire that the main bathroom switch is connected to. Would this be ok? What rating RCD's are light circuits normally connected to? When I look at the fuse board, all the individual switches for the plugs/sockets/lights etc have no "mA" rating written on them. Then only switch that has a rating is a slighty larger one (1st on in the fuse box) and this has 30mA written on it. The electrician who wired the house has this switch labeled "RCD". Does this mean I am covered?
Thanks.
