Bathroom Circuits

[wmeek]

Does bathroom lighting fixtures need to be on AFCI breakers per the 2008 NEC. I have two bathrooms and was wanting to feed each Bath with a 20A circuit for both lighting and receptacles. I know the receptacles have to be GFI protected . Alos what about recess lighting over showers. Do they need to be Gfi proteceted. I have read 210.11, 210.12, 210.23(A)(1) and (A)(2) and am a little puzzled.

Thanks in Advance
