Bathroom light switches - what are you guys fitting?

[FatAlan]

Have a clean slate of a bathroom to first fix. My builder mentioned that I should go for door activated or even movement PIR .. not keen. Also I’m not really interested in switch outside as it’s likely to get switched off by someone either accidentally or as a prank. Think I will stick to a pull chord with fan isolator above door on outside. Anyone recommend any trendy new high tech stuff that they’ve been installing?

Wife: "Will you shut the F up! Some people are trying to sleep here.... and put that F-ing light off!"

Christ, how has life got so complicated. A bathroom light has never been a problem for flip's sake. Pull switch - nice and simple. If you go in and it's dark, pull the pull cord. No need for apps, smart-phones, anything fancy. And it's ultra-safe so no issue when someone steps out of the shower pi** wet through and goes for a standard plate switch.

And the fan - put a fan in with it's own pull cord. No need to switch the light on if it's not chuffin' dark!

Why do we over-complicate things that are incredibly simple.

They don't argue about prices as they have minions that do that for them without there knowledge, you should see the architects spec on a £5M build, War and Peace is nothing in comparison.
