Light fixture above the bathtub
Is there a specific code that prohibits installing a hanging light fixture above a bathtub? Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Light fixture above the bathtub
Article 410.4(D) is the part you need.
Bathtub and Shower Areas. No parts of cord-connected luminaires, hanging fixtures, lighting track, pendants or ceiling suspended paddle fans shall be located within a zone measured 3' horizontally and 8' vertically from the top of the bathtub rim or shower stall threshold. This zone is all encompassing and includes the zone directly over the tub or shower stall.
The fixture would also need to be at least damp rated. It does not matter in this case since the fixture is within the prohibited zone for that type of fixture.
All answers based on unamended National Electrical codes.
