Bathroom wall lights

So I am wiring a small bathroom and there will be a wall light light right next to the shower. The shower will not have a fixed door. Checking 410.10 it seems like it is ok as long as the wall light is rated for a wet location. Am I reading that correctly and should I put it on a GFCI breaker? Thanks

I'm not sure if that would even be a wet or damp location, but maybe a good idea to use one rated for such. But I wouldn't put it on a GFCI unless the mfg requires it.

If the light is not in the shower area and not subject to spray then it does not have to be damp or wet location rated.
