Hi--I'm renovating a bath--need to add lighting and fan--anyone done a soffit over the shower/tub combo for this? Bath runs perpendicular to outside wall for venting--I can just bend the ducting a bit to fit can lighting, I guess. Thinking of a Panasonic fan--how deep (tall) will the soffit need to be?

I'm pretty tall

I'll have to measure, but I'm not sure I can give up a whole foot. I'm 6'3", which is a shorty in my family.
 
Panasonic Fans

Most of the Panasonic fans can also be installed on the wall if your ceiling height is limited.

Last time I checked I think they have one the sits inside a 6-8" opening but most are around 10".

Be careful how it hooks up to be HVAC vent as the HVAV elbow may steal some room from your light.

Bosun,
Why don't you get a combination light/fan so that you don't have to go around 'can' lighting?
