Shower niche LED lighting, Bathroom exhaust fan
Q1 -
I am remodeling a flip property bathroom and have added a shower niche. I saw Tile Coach on UT install an LED lighting strip here but he didn't include a product link. It's water proof, works off of a regular wall toggle switch, has a dimmer and the adapter or power supply is fastened in the ceiling above the wall switch. Whenever I do a search I am getting regular LED strip, some with their own little dimmer regulator. Any recommendations for the same setup or something that can work the same?

Are bathroom exhaust fans a code requirement? This is a flip property.

Q2: The code requirement for a van is so low (the minimum allowed is 50 cfm) that any fan you choose will comply with the code. What is actually needed is a very different number. The minimum I'd consider is changing the air in the room 8 times per hour but more is generally better. Don't forget to de-rate your fan's performance for your duct length and bends which can significantly reduce airflow.

So a fan isn't necessarily needed, but always recommended as who wants to open the window in the cold of winter or hot of summer.
