Is it against code to install it in a bathroom, outside of shower area, since printed word on the can says "suitable for damp locations"?

Codes of course vary. But you are asking is it going to cause problems, no. Absolutely not. Mine have been in two baths now for six month--only diff might be I've nine foot ceilings. I'm sure that does not matter, though. I recommend springing for LED replacements bulbs...the halogens burn hot.

I wish I could give you a decent answer but can't. I installed them above our kitchen sink and thus didn't worry about their resilance to humidity. They do work well though.

Code or no code . . . replace tungsten lamps with LED lamps. No heat to worry about with bathroom humidity.

It is designed for use in dry areas, and non-enclosed, non-dimmable fixtures. So outdoor use is not recommended.

No, it is neither damp rated nor wet rated. Technically I should not be using it for my screen enclosed patio but I liked the design.

Mine is in the bathroom, so can't answer that question. I will speculate that from the looks of the exterior finish that it shouldn't be so susceptive to the elements.

Yeah I would not use outside.. it will rust and it seems as tho any moisture would ruin it.. I would not even use in a bathroom

The manual states, "Use only outdoors." That might be because, "the exhaust gas and top of the unit is HOT!" The exhaust fumes might be an issue. But, I think you could safely mount the unit outside and just run the hose that connects to the shower head through a window. I would personally be totally okay with and feel quite safe doing that. Hope that helps!

Ours is installed in an exposed but covered exterior entrance way where it gets wet from blowing rain and mist. It does not get rained on directly however. Appears to be fine.

I assume it is damp rated - we have two of these fixtures in our master bathroom.

Not recommended for installation immediately above or enclosedwith a shower. It will function well in a snall roon with the shower if ducting is full and open.

I really can't say....I don't have any information that isn't on the amazon website. I checked the instructions that came with the light and they make no mention of damp locations. If it was me I would not use in this way...usually if fixtures are damp rated, the manufacturer clearly states this as it a selling point.

Humidity and moisture are bad for electronics in general. Leaving it on the bathroom counter with the fan on would probably be ok.

sorry I don't know that I got it to put in a damp area under the tub. I am not knocking the product, it worked OK #1 for me

I have 4 of them located outside. They are not actually for this purpose, but I have had mine installed for 2 years and no problems. Just make sure you locate them in a dry (rainproof) location. I have mine under the eaves of my house.

It is rated for Wet indoor/outdoor applications. I installed four of them in a shower with no issues.

I purchased this light fixture and mine is mounted outside in my entry way. Works nicely! I would not mount it somewhere that it could get wet.

We use ours in an outdoor shower stall, and as long as you have plenty of ventilation you should be fine. We do not let ours get direct spray from the shower, I do not think that would be good.

Sorry my response took so long. It says "suitable for damp locations" on the fixture. The product seems pretty solid but I am using them indoors. I like the light they put out. Bright, good color, and diffused nicely. Colors matched the CFLs I replaced(warm white and daylight).
