    it should physically be enough space for the spot lights , but have you considered ventilation ?
    these lights run very hot , and as such need quite a bit of space around them - are they ip rated , for wet areas

  • I agree with albalad but have you allowed for smoke hoods as some new regs require these to be fitted as well. If you allow 4" then this should be adequate for any eventualities. Happy bathtimes!!
