Hi everyone, our two bathrooms are being remodeled and are totally gutted. Would recessed lighting alone work the best way to light the bathrooms? A lighting store designer told me that a vanity light fixture should be part of the design for better lighting. Our electrician says recessed will work fine alone. The style of our home is contemporary. Advice will be appreciated on which way to go for the best lighting design. Thank you all in advance.

Just an update on my expired posts from a month ago regarding the use of an isolation relay between compact fluorescent lights and photocell...there have still been no more failures. Enough time has passed without failures that I am comfortable concluding that the relay is the fix. Those of you intending to use a photocell to control CFL's be advised that, even though the photocell manufacturer (Intermatic, in my case) may rate the cell for use with any "ballasted" load, I'm thinking what they mean is, THEIR device won't be HARMED by any ballasted load within the stated current limitation. And, of course, the lamp manufacturer's recommendation,if any, on photocell use, would take precedence. (some of you will say, "I told you so" so I humbly bow to you).
