ᐅ Light panel or recessed spotlight for the shower

Hello, I am looking for a light fixture to install in my walk-in shower. As I understand it, the fixture needs to operate on low voltage. First, you need to find a suitable one. Where can I install the transformer so that it remains accessible later on?

Who is supervising your installation and forcing you to do that? As far as I know, according to VDE standards, it is even permitted.

It depends on what is above, the construction of the floor slab, and the position of the shower within the house.
If there is an attic above the shower, which is not developed and not a concrete ceiling, it would be relatively simple—provided the cable is long enough.

Install a junction box with a transformer in the attic.

Why is that supposed to be the case? *clears throat...

So you don’t get exposed to 230 V while showering. That’s why.

RCDs (residual current devices) or not. It’s nonsense to have to walk through the distribution board room soaking wet every time the RCD trips and then stand there in the dark. And even if very likely (not but: guaranteed!) no electrical health damage results, such situations can of course cause shock, falls, injuries, or especially panic in children.
