I've pulled a new 12 gauge/20 amp circuit to an old bathroom that is
currently using 14 gauge with no ground wire. I need to add a fan and
another light.

Is this correct:

I can use this one 20 amp circuit for everything inside this one
bathroom (one outlet, 2 lights, one fan) as long as nothing else is on
that circuit.

The outlet near the sink must be GFCI of course. I will run the feed
from the breaker to this outlet, and then I can make the other
fixtures (lights, fan) downstream from this one GFCI outlet. This
makes everything in the bathroom GFCI.

Thanks !

Cripe, I'm correcting my own post.

OK, I got a 20 amp circuit going to the bathroom and noplace else.

I think I can split off this to (a) a branch to the GFCI outlet by the
sink and (b) a branch for the fan and lights.

This means NOT put the lighting downstream from the GFCI outlet. No
sense in being in the dark if you blow the GFCI.

Yes, that is correct

There is no code requirement to protect anything else in the bathroom other
than the outlet, jacuzzi, or fans located over the tub, but it's certainly
your option
Thanks !

ideally the lamp is GFCI protected too, metal with wiring close to
water and plumbing.

Now you got it!!!

Total nonsense as usual Haller. No code requirement at all
