.... I love brightness and would like to have a light fixture above the shower.
It is clear and sensible that electricity and water must be kept separate.
My plan is to cover the electrical components – including the LED bulb – with an acrylic glass enclosure, so that even if someone directs the shower spray upwards, there would reliably be no contact.
Does anyone know where I can find the regulations, or how I can find out exactly what is actually prohibited?

Do you actually read the answers you get here?Yes, I do. There are different opinions, and—as I said—the bathroom is small, not very tall, and has a sloped ceiling.
No, "only special" doesn’t have any value on its own, and "normal" is by no means bad in itself (there are often good reasons for it).
I personally enjoy these kinds of considerations and like to share them.
Thanks to input from others, I have often come up with ideas I wouldn’t have thought of alone.
True... I’m brainstorming a bit, but “back to square one” is always an option for me. (thanks for the comment 😉)
In this case, I’m trying to weigh the reasons against each other, and “electricity in the shower” is part of that.
At the moment (after testing), I’m looking for an LED spotlight that is as bright as possible and has the smallest possible beam angle (is that the right term?).

I would assume you’re also not installing any massage jets, so legally you should be fine and free in your design choices.ateliersiegel8 Dec 2022 11:13Why should I now be convinced by the dangerous, live lamp? 😉
My impression:
my thoughts are not received well everywhere. 😱
I don't want to bother anyone and kindly ask to be ignored where that is the case. 😎
What occurred to me earlier:
When taking a shower, you draw the shower curtain closed. It could get in the way of indirect lighting. 🙄

When you shower, you pull the shower curtain closed. It could block indirect light 🙄That’s why it’s best to install a finished fixture with an IP45 rating at 2.5m (8 feet 2 inches) height on the ceiling, and avoid any DIY solutions. I wouldn’t choose a very small spotlight with a narrow beam angle—it just creates shadows and causes glare.
