Yes, recessed lights can be installed in a bathroom and are a popular choice for several reasons. Recessed lights have a compact, flush-to-ceiling design, which makes them ideal for providing ample light and modern style in bathrooms without taking up too much space.

Also, because recessed lighting sits in a housing inside the ceiling, it makes it a safe, watertight lighting option for your shower. Just make sure they’re wet- or damp-rated before you install them in your bathroom. 

The housing for high-quality recessed lighting can last a lifetime. But how long the bulbs last depends on the type you choose. LED lights are the most common and tend to last the longest, often 30,000 to 40,000 hours. Compare that to incandescent bulbs, which only last for 1,000 hours or so.

Common fixtures include LED panels, recessed lighting, and heavy-duty outlets. Choose based on energy efficiency and usage.

Installing a light fixture usually takes about one to two hours for a standard ceiling-mounted fixture, and longer for more extensive installations. The installation time can vary depending on the type of fixture, whether you’re installing a new fixture or replacing an old one, and any additional wiring or drywall work required to finish around the new fixture. When hiring an electrician to install your light fixture, ask them to provide a time estimate based on the specifics of your project.
