SMALL BATHROOM

Idk if I should use my new CFL lightbulb in the bathroom. The light fixture (where you place the bulbs) is ~2 or + feet above the sink, where the water that splashes when we brush our teeth probably can’t reach all the way there. So wouldn’t that be considered not-very-direct-water contact (if, say, small specks of water did get up there for some reason)? I also know that bthrms have like humidity..this might affect the bulb right (which in turn would affect us?) By affect, I mean like I might get shocked if I were to touch or unscrew the bulb while the light is turned on & the bulb has like water on it from the humidity of the bthrm? If the answer is yes, what if I touched the lightbulb (which has specks of water on it) but during the time when the light is turned off…I wouldn’t get shocked then right, since the light’s not on? If I do get shocked, would it be a big one? This type of shock-dangerous? What if bulb contacts water, light’s turned on, but no one touches bulb? Dangerous?

They mean outdoors or in wet environments. The vanity light fixture is an absolutely appropriate use for the CFL. They do have other characteristics you might not like in the bathroom such as taking time to warm up before reaching full brightness and bulkiness but as far as the water goes, unless you are really radical in the bathroom it should never be an issue.
