    Anyone tried the Atoko Fan Select (ATQ6-03) - extractor fan timer - switch fan off during run-on?

    Hi. Has anyone tried the Atoko Fan Select (ATQ6-03)? Its supposed to be an extractor fan timer so you can get delayed start and run-on using a standard fan. They say you can also override the delay and run-on by switching the light - does that really work?

    Extractor Vent With Fly Screen

    Hello, Is it just me or is it harder to find external vents for extractor fans that come with fly screens? What has changed, is there some building regulation I am not aware off. The thought if a bare louvred grill just seems to be asking for bugs and creatures to come in.
