Light with Extractor Fan

[stevec59]

Hi,
I currently have low voltage down lighters in my bathroom, I want to replace one of the downlighters with a downlighter that has an extractor fan on it, can I just wire it up to the normal light switch, or do I need some thing different, it is low wattage,so I don't see why not, but I thought best to ask.

Thanks

Steve

Has the fan got a timer overun circuit?

Not sure about overload.It does have a timer,I am looking at the Addvent AVC 110 IDT SLC.

Here is a link to a PDF:-

I am also considering having the light on one switch and the Fan on another, I don't think that will be a problem,the reason that I may want to do this, is that I amy not want the light on, but will need the Fan on.

Thanks

Steve

dont bother with the light on own switch

the link you supplied does not say the light can be independantly switched, which would mean you would have to alter the internal connections = grief, invalidating warranty on unit, and what would be the point? the whole idea of a fan and light unit is to have them both on at the same time

I suppose you are right, all I was thinking is that if I wanted to soak in the bath for a while, when it was daylight, I might not want the light on, but would need the fan on, but putting in an extra switch is probably more grief that it is worth, so will probably go for light and fan on at same time.

Thanks for every ones help

I might not want the light on, but would need the fan on

So why not just install a fan?

I have double glazing and don't wan to pay for a professional to fit an extractor fan in the double glazed unit, I would not dare to do this my self.
I could just put an extractor fan in the ceiling, but I don't think it will look right, I would sooner go for a light with an extractor fan, but thanks for the thought

You should fit a triple pole isolator, too.
