Bathroom Light Replace

[BathDIY]

I want to replace my Bathroom light.

Currently, it's an "Eterna PACIFIC12 12W / 3100K IP44 LED Ceiling Fitting 200-240V / 50/60Hz / 25°C"

The light is situated in Zone 2.

I thought this would be simple and perhaps it is, I just want to ensure I'm not doing anything daft.

Have brought the following:
Bathroom Ceiling Light
60W MAX ES GLS
IP44
240V-50Hz

Bulb E27 LED 1055 Lumen (10.5W)
Equivalent wattage 75 W
Voltage 220-240 V

Unless I'm missing something the light is a suitable replacement and should be OK.

Was told the bulb was OK by shop assistant although am now questioning this. The light calls for a max of 60W and has heat-resistant sleeving for the wire. It seems to me that the 60W limit may be important because of the heat generated by the bulb. Is this a concern or am I over thinking this?

Your light is 10.5W - less than 60W.

Equivalent wattage means it gives out (roughly) the same light as 75W filament lamp - totally irrelevant to electrical considerations.

Thanks EFLimpudence,

Instructions say:

• This light fitting should only be installed by a qualified electrician
• Light fittings should be connected to 5 amp fused circuit
• A 30mA RCD must be used

Am not the first and I assume that the second 2 are pretty much standard warnings. Also, assume am OK as the house and fuse box has recently (2 years ago) been sorted by a qualified electrician.

What's the best way to check the second 2 just to be sure?

1 and 3 just standard instructions regarding the latest regulations - nothing to do with the light itself.
2 just rubbish.

Yes if you had consumer unit (fuse box) fitted two years ago the light circuit will almost definitely be on a 6A MCB (dont use fuses any more so you can't fit the light - just joking but shows how daft the instructions are) and also there should be RCDs covering all the circuits.

One like this covering several circuits:

or one like this on each circuit:

Both have test buttons.

Hi EFLimpudence,

Thanks so much for your time and efforts with this, I will now get the light installed

Aghhh.

Connected it all up, pull the switch, and the bulb goes on (for under a second) and immediately off again, other lights OK.

Have checked the connections (they are push fit) all seems good to me.

Now it's not going on at all.

Any idea what this could be?
