I have the same question!! I think the answer is that the switch can't handle as much current when the load is inductive (a fluorescent) than when its resistive. The question is would it be unsafe?

I have inherited a somewhat odd installation. I have a FSU on landing with just 3 wires connected to it (L,N and Lout). However Lout is not connected to anything in the junction box in which my fan is connected... At the moment my fan and light are both switched together (with timed delay)...
