Can you put a chandelier over a bathtub?

Bathroom Chandelier Concerns
From 2011, the National Electric Code (NEC), requires that all light fixtures, including chandeliers and crystals hanging from them, be at least 8 feet above the tub's highest part. The no-chandelier area extends horizontally three feet beyond the tub's rim.



The reverse is true: Where do you hang a chandelier above a bathtub?

According to the National Electric Code for the U.S., hanging fixtures must be at least 8 feet above the bathtub rim. For a luxurious bathroom, but still within your budget, hang the chandelier in the middle of the room.

Can light be added to the bathtub? Recessed lighting is a great way to add style and function to your bath area. It makes it easier to unwind and relax. Recessed bath lights, unlike traditional wall- or ceiling-mounted light fixtures, can be mounted in the shower stalls and over tub areas.

Also, do you think a chandelier can be placed in the bathroom?

A smaller bathroom can be made to work with a chandelier. However, it is better to choose a smaller fixture than one like this elegant chandelier. To hang a chandelier, you will need to have enough overhead space. A chandelier is best suited for bathrooms with vaulted or high ceilings because of its electrical requirements.

Can you place a light over a shower?

It may seem tempting to put a decorative fixture over a shower. However, this is not a matter of simply choosing any ceiling light. Ceiling lights that are placed directly above a shower need to be suitable for moist or damp areas.
