Can a light fixture be less than 8' above the water level in a tub if it is GFI protected?

So this room is about 10' tall, right?

In order to be more then 8 feet above water line u would have to have a ceiling height of at lest 10 feet.

You did not read the question, the ceiling height is only 9' and to use the fixture we want the bottom would be approximately 7' above the tub rim, code requires lighting to be at least 8' above the rim of the tub. My question is can a light fixture be less than 8' above the rim of the tub if it is on a GFCI circuit.

YES, it can.

It must be a securely mounted ceiling or wall fixture; no pendants, chain, cord, etc, mounted fixtures.

It must be damp location rated, unless subject to shower spray then it must be wet location rated.

No GFI protection is required unless the Mfg requires it.

I assume this is not for an RV, correct?

Sorry Mike but here is what you told us "Can a light fixture be less than 8' above the water level in a tub if it is GFI protected?
" Where were we supposed to know the height of the room? GFCI are required for outlets not the lights
