Can this fan and light be installed on ceiling inside a 4 by 6 shower?

My husband, who is an electrician, says that he doesn't think it is a good idea. He thinks that in such an enclosed area, the steam will build up and burn out the lights. From a size standpoint, it would fit as long as the ceilings are at least 8 feet tall.

I installed it in a 4 X 6 shower stall but the ceiling height is close to 8ft in the shower.

I really am not sure about putting it inside a shower I just used I for the bathroom as a fan and light works great for that.

The fan is powerful and efficient so even in a larger room it would be fine, but the light isn't very bright so you would have to get an additional lamp of some kind if the room is large. The fan is very compact but powerful, it is currently in our kitchen which is about 14' x 8'. Hope this helps.

Yes, I did this just this. Fan, ceiling light and vanity light. However, get a deep box as it is a tight fit with all the wiring.

i don't think so. It would need a 4 X 12 (approximately) FLAT surface for the ceiling plate.

Yes. This light is wet rated and can be used safely above a shower. My husband and I recently built our house and have 20 of these lights installed throughout the house, including above the showers in the bathrooms.

The fan may be installed w/o a down rod but with fan and light shade requires about 18" of clearance from the ceiling.

Yes, but I believe you can put a bigger fan in front instead of the 2 stock 120mm fans. I kept those because they were already wired with an on/off switch for the light.

I think it would be too small for a foyer. There is a lamp with 6 lights which might fit better.

I think so if you ceiling mount it (I don't remember if this is an option). I really like this fan/light combo, very attractive for a $100 fan.

Hi Topgear88, Check with your local inspection department because some say it's ok but I don't reccomend installing it directly above the shower. I would recommend installing the fan just outside the shower. If your trying to remove the humidity, Instead of a switch I would install a adjustable dehumidistat and set arround 45% to 50% then the fan will turn on & shut off automaticly. Also make sure to correctly size the fan so it will remove the humidity.MarkInnovative HVAC Systems, Inc.

I'd ask a licensed electrician...For a sales person to say only recessed lighting they aren't very informed. I had an electrician install a bathroom fan/light fixture over my tub so I know you can do more than recessed. The recessed light they are talking about is in a shower stall.

I think it would be good in a shower because the spread of the beam. My vestibule, where I have mine installed, is about 6' buy 3' and it REALLY lights it very well. Hope this helps.

Hi Ida F. Yes it is possible to install in existing "can" for recessed light. Your electrician will need to install the proper box and hardware to support the fan and you shouldn't have any problems. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

This CAN be installed on an angled ceiling. Not sure about LED bulbs though.

Unfortunately I'm unable to answer your question at this time... we have not installed our ceiling fan as of yet.

there is NO way to attach a light fixture to this fan. The blades wrap together to form sort of a knot on the bottom, and there is no place for a fixture. The uniqueness of the fan would be spoiled by adding anything to it.

Not a good idea. You should have a fixture specially designed for the wet shower area. Look up shower light.
