Tub/Shower Light
I did not mind touching the switch from outside the tub.

Re: Tub/Shower Light
It's no more dangerous than a non-GFCI receptacle near a sink. As long as there isn't a shower there, which you imply there might be!
You could use a hair dryer in the tub! And watch TV! I hate going to hotels where there is ordinary, uncovered halogen bulbs above the shower. Scares the bejesus out of me. And is that an extension lead? Tut tut. Last edited by Ian Gills; 3/16/07 at 3:08 PM..

Re: Tub/Shower Light
That light is not a listed light (as part of the shower assembly) and the receptacle is not GFCI protected.

Re: Tub/Shower Light
And if it's anything like my porch light it will read "suitable for wet locations" quite clearly.
Looks like a case of asking the wife/husband to get one that said that from Home Depot, and that's exactly what they got!

Re: Tub/Shower Light
The can light over the hydro-tub is not approved for this wet location installation, replace with an approved fixture. Consult a licensed electrician for labor and material estimates prior to closing.

Anyone feel that we could be going round in circles here? Forgive my ignorance, but what is wrong with installing a porch light in an indoor wet location, other than aesthetics? Last edited by Ian Gills; 3/20/07 at 6:07 PM..
