connecting a timed fan and light

christopherdymond · 3 Aug 2006

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

are you thinking of having another pull cord light switch to bring on this second light?

hi fireman

No i only want to fit 1 light so the light comes on at the same time as the fan

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.
