Switch for shower fixture
What new home doesn't want the convenience of being able to switch the light while taking a shower. This was a builders idea of "extras".
Height from threshold to luminary: 7' 6". Shower to switch 14".

Re: Switch for shower fixture
Michael, is there a minimum distance for the switch? If there is, I'm unable to find it in the NEC.

Re: Switch for shower fixture
You may say code, shmode, but I don't believe that is a problem, code-wise.
