No idea what you are getting at.
He's saying the switched live to the fan will reduce in voltage as the lights are dimmed. But I wonder if that's just for the timer circuit and the permanent live runs the fan motor.
OP
No timer on the fan, the switched live from lights is powering fan.
What is it you are wanting to know.

Depending in the make & model trigger voltages can be quite low. I've seen bad switches passing ~ 50v, as long as the perm live is normal the fan starts & runs happily.
OP
Total load including fan is only 50w. What I'm asking westward, is can you see any likely problems coming from this bathroom fan with no timer on a dimmer switch?
I can move cable and maybe add in pull cord

Just throwing it out there, I knew had to change it.
OP
Didn't seem to struggle, slow fast
Did you test it with an anemometer, I'm sure you'll see the difference!
OP
Defyg your off the rictor, the dimmer does control the fan, but isit a good idea or not. Il likely change it tomorrow if I have dp pullcord about me
Im sure it does but any speed variation will after the extract rate which also isn't a good idea.
OP
Dont really care about extract rate, was just wondering would the motor burn out or would it not, wood the dimmer burn out would it not..
