What is the difference between damp-rated and wet-rated bathroom lights?

Damp-rated fixtures are designed for areas exposed to condensation and heavy moisture, such as over a vanity mirror or near a half-bath sink. Wet-rated fixtures are completely sealed to handle direct water contact or outdoor elements, making them the main option for inside enclosed shower stalls or directly above an open soaking tub footprint.
