I'm in the market for a new bathroom exhaust and light combination. The catch? It's the only light source in my windowless bathroom, so I definitely need it to be bright! I've seen a lot of recommendations for Panasonic models, but most of them only provide around 700 lumens, and I'm hoping for a minimum of 1000. Additionally, many options seem to have a color temperature of 3000k, while I prefer something more like 4000k. Durability is a must too. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You might want to check out the Panasonic Whisper Lite models. They usually have normal sockets, so you could swap out the provided bulb for something brighter if needed. But it’s true that a lot of the models at local stores come with lower wattage fixtures. If you find one you like, let me know, and I can help you look for specific links!
Have you considered how overhead lights can be unflattering? I know you might be set on an overhead fixture, but having some side lighting or lights above the mirror would really enhance the space. If you're worried about wiring, there are plug-in options available that can work well in tight spaces, even if the outlet isn’t perfectly located.
