Hi
This would be considered as zone 1 
Bathroom Lights can be used in the area above the bath to a height of 2.25m from the floor. In this zone a minimum rating of IP44 is required. The circuit will need to be 30mA RCD  (residual current device) protected also
Hope this helps

A light above the bath which will be in Zone 1 Has to Be IP66  rated for ingress of water . Basically the light has to be sealed so no steam or water can penetrate
