Hello
I have connected a bathroom timed fan in , i used a 3 pole switch so i can switch of the fan from outside of the bathroom.I have conected from ceiling rose to the 3 pole switch them using the switch wire to a pull cord switch and them to my timed fan.
The problem ,some where in this curcit i need to fit a light that comes on with the fan and switchs off leaving the fan to run on its timmer. can i simply connect into the same switch/connection as the fan to the neutral on my ceiling rose.
look forward to your response

The old to new wiring colours for this will be:
2 core + earth cable
Red = Brown
Black = Blue
Blue wire needs to be sleeved brown in the switch wire for switch live.

3 core + earth cable
Red = Brown
Yellow = Black
Blue = Grey
Black wire needs to be sleeved brown for switched live and Grey wire needs to be sleeved blue for neutral.
