No you can't, a shower and the area over a bath are deem zone 1 and therefore you can only use Low Voltage IP65 Downlighters

No they don't have to be Low Voltage. As long as they are appropriatly IP Rated.

Actually he can:

1. These are rated for Zone 1 and Zone 2
2. The ceiling will probably be Zone 2 but without dimensions can't tell.
3. 240V is low voltage.
