LED Strip for Bathroom Ceiling Slats

Squibble

Hi all,

I am going to have walnut wood panels with slats installed in the bathroom ceiling. I want led lights running through the slats, for example: https://www.diy.com/departments/acoustic-wall-panel-led-strip-lights-cool-tone-4-pack-2-4m/7685746354231_BQ.prd 

But it would need to be fire rated and waterproof as it is in the bathroom. I can't for the life of me find exactly what I need, can someone help please? Also, I would prefer that this is on a switch. 

Thanks x

More fundamentally are the walnut panels suitable for this purpose. I'd have thought the moisture would damage them fairly quickly.

I think bathroom ceiling is Zone 3 for which there are no any special IP requirements - https://www.screwfix.com/guides/bathrooms-kitchens/electrical-bathroom-zones#ip-ratings-explained

Check yourself to make sure.

That said, IMHO it's a bit crazy to pay £220 for 4 lights with pathetic 1 year warranty and available only in packs of 4.

For some reason the website wasn't working so I just used that link. I got the panels them from rubberducks website, it said it was suitable for the ceiling.

Thanks, I will have a look.

Have a look at LEDspace.co.uk. I've just bought some waterproof LED strip from them and quality seems very good. They aren't the cheapest though
