'Salvation Army' usually has a box of such goodies. I scrounge there a lot. Then, you've got an intrinsically-safe Voltage, and an easy run of skinny Wire on the 12 VAC/VDC side to snake through to the Shower.
Use anything from a new Backup Light from Auto Zone to a used Light off a wrecked Car from the Junkyard, and perhaps even gain a lil Retro 'cache', if a campy old Light was found and recycled.
Engineerguy is correct,
You need to ditch the 110vAc, and go with 12V DC or AC. If you use 12vDC, there are quite a few 12V LED lights available for marine and other automotive applications. Plus there is the option for outdoor garden lights (Malibu type) that are sealed. I would never recommend using 110vAc in a wet environment unless it was IP65 or better. 110vAc can kill you if there is the slightest intrusion of water into the light. And, you need to stay away from the metal base lights and use brass base lights to avoid corrosion problems associated with metal base in a wet environment.
