Does the light switch in bathroom need to be on a GFCI?
We're purchasing a home and recently had an inspection completed. One of the safety items that was redlined by the inspector relayed the following:
"The light switch for the shower light was located just outside of the shower (closer than 5 feet) and is not on a GFCI circuit. Recommend putting the light on a GFCI circuit to provide the potential for electrocution."
Call me clueless, but I thought only outlets were on GFCI circuits. If we ask an electricion to follow the inspector's recommendations, would it be considered an unusual request? How difficult is it to convert a receptacle to GFCI?
