    Stall shower lighting
    I'd like to replace the existing light in the stall shower. What do I need to know about the fixture? Where can I get such a light?

    Both Lowe's and HomeDepot (and probably Sears hardware too) have lighting meant for wet locations:

    Look for the term "wet location approved" on the packaging.

    All I have to add to rick's answer, is that a fixture rated for damp locations is acceptable for a shower, and any fixture installed in a shower needs to be GFI protected.

    You will find both the housing and the trim must be rated for damp locations.
