I have a can light over the tub and would like to replace it with a chandelier for a more elegant look. Can this be done?

    Not over the tub. The can light over the tub is made for water/moisture contact. I't sealed to prevent moisture from migrating into the electrical connections/wires.

    I have seen Chandeliers over the tub in magizines and on pintress as well as on home talk. Were these specially made for the bath with water barrier?

    You will need a fixture rated for wet areas.

    Thank you Cynthia, That makes since. I guess that also means I can't use the chandelier that my grandmother gave me.
