    Bathroom extractor fan.....cost?

    Yes ok, but I was going on the safety side with 12 v. also the cost / price choice for IPX4 or IPX5 is not that good. Still reckon that a transformer next to the isolator makes for a safe & neat job. Showers are usually on RCD / RCBO. Circuits for lights / Fans are often not.
