A ventilation unit integrated with illumination, typically available from major home improvement retailers, serves a dual purpose in bathrooms. These units exhaust moisture and odors while providing ambient lighting. They represent a convenient, space-saving solution for bathroom environments.
These combination units contribute to improved air quality by reducing humidity that can lead to mold and mildew growth. Historically, separate ventilation and lighting systems were the norm, requiring more complex installations. The integrated design simplifies installation and often results in energy savings due to more efficient operation.
