Hi all,
Been reading the FAQs and how-to's all day in prep for installing an extractor fan. However I wanted to ask about an easier way of wiring it.
I appear to have a feed coming from the mains which is directed down from the loft to a single gang switch. This I can see then feeds back up another cable and onto the lamp in the bathroom. Both are twin and earth cable. Its almost like a loop at the switch except the L/N/E doesnt continue on. N/E are each connected with choc block and feed L is used for the C and live to the lamp is L1.
Now originally I was going to use a junction box to take a new feed down to the switch and replace it with a 2 gang (both one way), wiring in an isolator and taking it then to the extractor fan. However can I bridge the live feed to a second switch and forgo having to run a new feed down? So have all N/E connected to each other respectively, take the live feed in to one C and then bridge to the second C and connect the two L1s to the lamp and extractor respectively?
Hope that all makes sense, TIA
