I am looking for energy-efficient lighting options for parts of the house with high humidity, i.e., bathrooms.
Can LEDs or compact fluorescent bulbs work well in bathrooms? If not, what are some energy-efficient lighting options for places with high humidity?
Best to look for lights which are rated for damp or wet location: especially near the shower.
Go from there.
Selecting LED lights you need to be familiar with
-lumens
-CRI
- lumens per watt- how efficient your light is
-LED Kelvin - which varies generally between 2500-3000 -warm orangish color like candlelight to 5000-6000K- like daylight in a sunny location and everything in-between
If your bathroom is about 100 sq ft - you need 7000- 8000 lumens to light it up properly.
Look up the terminology I mentioned above
