Is it a code violation? I suppose it may not be 'subject' to shower spray because of the 'curtain, but it was asked if it had to be damp rated.
Because the bathroom is small, the original plan was to have a recessed light in the ceiling over the sink vs the 4 bulb light surface mount on the wall, but that had changed.

There would not have been any question about the recessed ceiling light, but the wall mount that close to the shower is being questioned. I am not sure if they if they even make a damp rated wall mount 4 bulb light this style.

IMO, if that fixture that fixture is outside the tub dimensions that it is compliant. No damp location rating is required
