Hi guys. Can anyone speak to the potential danger of installing a
light fixture in a full bathroom that has a "dry location only"
warning sticker? I'm assuming that lights designed for baths must
have some sort of insulation?? I like this fixture and would rather
not return it to the store and start my search over again. Thanks for
any insight.

Don't. Bathroom lights should be selected to not be affected by high
humidity.
Also if it is a recessed light there are requirments about heat
clearances above/behind them.
Quite apart from fact that a wrong fixture may deteroriate and corrode
quickly before catching fire, if something happened it might, at best,
invalidate insurance coverage. Smoke can kill.

The bathroom is considered a "Dry location" unless you planned on installing
the fixture in the tub/shower space. A damp location is usually outdoors
under a roof. A wet location is fully exposed to the elements.

Ditto, if you're talking about a wall mount or ceiling mount fixture going
on the ceiling or wall over the sink, it's considered a dry location. Just
stay out of the tub or shower

Calm down, then go look up the National Electrical Code definitions of dry,
damp, and wet locations.
