Default Pendant Light in Luminaire Zone

Does this condition fall into the luminaire zone code?
Pendant Light hung at about 78" off the ground and bout 32" outside shower.

Is a shower considered to be a part of the luminaire zone or just a bathtub?

Default Re: Pendant Light in Luminaire Zone

410.4(D) Bathtub and Shower Areas No parts of cord-connected luminaires (fixtures), chain-, cable-, or cord-suspended-luminaires (fixtures), lighting track, pendants, or ceiling-suspended (paddle) fans shall be located within a zone measured 900 mm (3 ft) horizontally and 2.5 m (8 ft) vertically from the top of the bathtub rim or shower stall threshold. This zone is all encompassing and includes the zone directly over the tub or shower stall. Luminaires (lighting fixtures) located in this zone shall be listed for damp locations, or listed for wet locations where subject to shower spray.


Looks like this is in the zone.
