did you not check continuity of the circuit and put an insulation tester on the extended ring before switching on ?

16amps for a ceiling fan ?? How big is it lol seriously 3amps should be plenty for a ceiling fan and a couple of wall lights. I have never had to put anything bigger than a 3amp fsu for conservatory lights and fans
