    Bathroom Extract Fan Isolation

    A customer of mine wants a bathroom fan installing but on its own pull cord so they can control when it is on and off. No run on time required just on and off. Is it ok to come straight off the lighting circuit in the bathroom and use the pull cord as the means of isolation for the fan?
