Under the new regulations for fluorescent lights (Part L of the Building Regulations 2002 section 1.54) can I install a fluorescent light in the bathroom to comply with the regulations?

Answer:

No. The light must be installed in the hallway, lounge, landing, dining room, kitchen or bedroom. In a typical 3 bedroom house it will need to have 3 dedicated energy saving lighting points in order to show compliance with the regulations.
