According to electrical code, in order to avoid mishaps in slipping and gripping onto a lit chandelier, it has to be 8 feet above the highest point of your tub, with the chandelier secured in such a way that it is 8 feet above the highest point of your tub.. Regardless of these general installations, this rule depends a lot on the region you are living in. One must ensure to conduct proper research before the installation.

Drop lights over tubs or shower area is not safe not only because of water but when using a towel and tossing it over to your back or side it can hit the drop lights. Same with having decorative vases near the tub area.

I have a 1920’s chandelier over my copper tub. Electrically, it’s sketchy as heck, it’s made in Venice italy. However, with 10 foot ceilings and GFCI circuitry, it’s not dangerous. GFCI is ridiculously safe. If you sneeze, it trips the circuits.

I did a chandelier over a bathtub, to make code, I converted it to 12volt, hunting down the lamps was fun, but we made it work.
