What are the best overhead lighting solutions in a bathroom? Do we need to worry about moisture with the selection?

There are many options for bathrooms. Most of the time you need to choose some lights that are designed to be in the bathroom; there are special lights for showers (see below for a few links).

For bathrooms I generally recommend water proof 4’’ or 6’’ recessed lighting. I’m not sure how your bathroom looks now, but when upgrading you want to consider recessed or sconces depending on your existing layout.

Today efficiency standards call for LED in the bathroom. The best one is Cool White/Bright White or Daylight … Soft White (2700K-3000K), Cool White/Bright White (3500K – 4100K) and Daylight (5000K-6500K)
