Hi all,
I have already conducted reasearch into this, using both a search on here and other sources found from Google, but I am posting because I want to make sure I'm on the correct page.
So, very soon we will be completley re-doing our shower room. I have some questions about the electrics.
Firstly is the extractor fan. There is talk of having it on the same switch as the light switch (Although I personaly don't think this is a good idea, I mean what if the shower is used mid day? Then that means the lights got to be on, which is a waste of time and electricity. Anyway, here is the circuit diagram of how I think it needs to be done...

The existing lighting feed and switch cable will be used, and they are in the old red and black colours. Also note that I have not included the earth on the diagram, for clarity. But they will of course be there when the job is done.
For the lights, there is three of these, 12v downlights powered from a transformer, daisy chained together. I will use 1mm 2+E for these.
For the extractor fan, I will run 3+E. I think the thickness I need is 2mm?
I havn't seen it on any others, but I can't help but think some form of FCU is required?
These are the switches that I will most likley use...

If the light and fan will be on a differant circuit, I'm assuming the circuit diagram is the same (Minus the lights of course!). In this case, will the fan isolator be excluded and the pull cord switch act as the isolator?
Right the shaver socket, this needs to be moved from its current location (Staying on the same wall, but its being moved lower. Its far too high) I think the best way to do this would be to extend the current cable, and burry a JB inside the wall at the location the socket currently is. Am I right or wrong?
Thanks in advance for any constructive help and advice.
