Fitted a central air handling fan extractor thingy in my loft with trunking going to the bathrooms and bedrooms which I'm hoping should solve the condensation issue.
The plan is to leave the fan on very low during the day and then when we use the showers turn it up a bit to take out the steam and then switch it off at night or as needed. So I've wired it through a dimmer switch and it all works remarkably well. The only problem is that I've done it too well and can't easily hear the fan working so I'm not sure if it's on or off.
Now if it was an ordinary on-off switch I could get one with a neon indicator which would show it's status, but I don't seem to be able to find a dimmer switch with an integrated neon light. Auntie Google doesn't seem to be much help so has anyone seen one or know how I can wire an indicator light in? I've only got a live switched cable going to the existing dimmer, no neutral cable at the switch.
Any ideas please chaps? And chapesses of course.
