    Wiring outside light off existing extractor fan supply.

    Friend of mine has an existing extractor in the bathroom which is switch powered. He wants to disconnect it as it's never used, and feed a cable from the existing extractor feed through the exterior wall and into a PIR exterior light. He's insisting that regular 1.5mm pvc is fine (i've said it...

    Hello all, Just wondering if my en-suite is wired correctly . There is a timed extraction fan and bathroom light in there . There is an isolator switch outside the door. When you turn off the isolator the light stops working too. Is this correct? Should the isolator not stop the fan only and...

    Light must be on for bathroom fan to work. Can I rewire so each switch works independently?

    In my bathroom, the light (switch on left) must be switched on in order for the fan to be switched on. I would like to be able to run the fan without having to keep the light on. Any solutions for a simple rewire?

    A15 vs. A19 bulbs in ceiling fan

    I've always had A15 60w incandescent bulbs in my ceiling fan light, which looks a lot like this except not LED (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Elite-3-Light-White-Ceiling-Fan-Shades-LED-Light-Kit-LK1906/311928467). The sockets take a medium E26 base. I'm having trouble finding these bulbs locally...

    Bathroom fan with delay

    Hi, My bathroom fan currently comes on and off with the light, the fan itself has a delay function and I'd like to use it, is this the correct wiring diagram? It's currently wired a little different but does work, it doesn't carry on to another light, just seems to be on it's own. Also the fan...

    Looking for suitable replacement for Vortice Ariett T centrifugal ceiling fan

    Latest fun on the job from hell. I need to replace 2 x Vortice Ariett T ceiling mounted centrifugal fans, but struggling. I could buy replacements, but only place I can find them that might get them by early next week is Amazon, and a bit steep at £80 per fan for my budget. It's in a Barrat...

    Ceiling fan turns in with recessed lights switch

    I've installed some recessed lights in my den, where previously there was just a fan with a light fixture running off a single switch. Now there are 4 switches; 2 for the recessed lights and 2 for the fan, at different entrances to the room. But I can't seem to get them running independently...

    Install plug on hob extractor fan

    Hi When we had the electrics installed for our new kitchen (few months back) we were advised by the electrician at the time to just add a standard plug to the wire of the hob extractor fan (once it was installed). I have finally come to do this, but would like confirmation that it is safe and...

    Hi I've just replaced a non timer fan with a timer fan and the timer fan will not come on. Original set up. Wall switch to isolator to fan. The non timer fan only used the brown cable and grey (w/blue sleeve) cable. Earth and black (w/black sleeve) cables present but left redundant - I...

    My problem is this: I have 2 sets of Romex 14/3 in my bathroom - one going to a light fixture, and one going to a bath fan unit (both set into the attic space). I am replacing the fan unit with another that has an integrated light (which we sorely need - the existing light fixture is poorly...

    Timer fan off a dimmer switch?

    Has anyone done this successfully and if so how. I've read that fans run off the perm and use the switches as a trigger so assuming the dimmer outputs sufficient voltage to trigger the fan it should work, but in reality will It?
