Waterproof switch beside hot tub

by t_r_davies » Sun Oct 13, 2024 11:51 pm

We have a permanent hot tub with a pergola over it for some protection from the elements, and we would like to install some 12V LED lights around the edge of the pergola for evenings over the winter.

Is it permitted to install an IP66 fused spur on the wall directly beside the tub, into which an IP68 LED driver would be hardwired (through a suitable cable gland) to power the lights?

From my reading of the outdoor zone 0/1/2 rules it appears that this is allowed but looking for some extra input on here if anyone can help please. My usual sparky is in hospital and the other local guy is too busy to come and have a look at the moment.
