Lights, Camera, Action- Bathroom lighting Cle Elum Home Inspection

Here is a perfect example.

The electrical code states-

“No part of chain, cable, or cord, suspended lights, track lights, or ceiling paddle fans can be located within 3 feet horizontally and 8 feet vertically from the top of the bathtub rim or shower stall threshold.

Lights (luminaires) located within the actual outside dimensions of a bathtub or shower to a height of 8 feet from the top of the bathtub rim or shower threshold must be marked for damp locations. If the light is subject to shower spray, the lights must be marked for wet locations [410.10(D)].”

I pretty sure this light fixture is not rated for a damp location. It would be shock to me if it was and I can be a shock to the soaker if it not.
