I'm having recessed downlights (x3) fitted along with a shower extractor fan with a light built in. All to be controlled by a PIR.
The extractor is an inline model. It's a ground floor bathroom and the ducting will route approx 500mm before going through an external wall and into a garage. The fan will be fitted in the garage and ducted through the roof using a suitable vent tile. Not ideal but it's the best solution for future access. The total length of ducting will be approx 2.5m.
I understand I need a 3 pole switch for the fan. As the fan itself will be mounted outside the bathroom do I need to put the switch near the bathroom or can it be positioned next to the fan in the garage?
TIA, J
