We just built a new master bath, and are going to install one recessed light over our shower. Is there a specific one I need to use for a shower? Or will just a regular one work? Thanks!

You need to go to a major electrical supply store and purchase a wet/damp shower recessed light fixture.
I doubt if places like Home Depot or Lowes carries those types of fixtures since it is basically a specialty item, so your best bet is a major elec. supply store.
The glass on a regular fixture will shatter when moisture hits it while it is hot. You definitely do not want to be standing under it taking a shower.

It definetely has to be a wet type fixture going into a shower area. Just talk to the people in the lighting department at your favorite store, tell them what you want to do and they will show you the type you need to install. I also added a neat sun lamp when I redid mine. Make it nice and toasty warm.
