Oh no! not another one, this post should make it 3 in a row from Adam:tongue::handfist:
Well Pete since you're so keen to know, if you're going to suggest a solution you could at least stand by your suggestion and offer an explanation instead of rolling over and admitting it was just an ill-informed guess.

The second post which I rated as 'dumb' was where you made the effort to write out a post calling me 'dumb' for using a button provided by the forum. Ordinarily I'd turn a blind eye to things like that but you don't seem afraid to rate posts negatively - you reap what you sow.

I'll let you off miscounting the number of negative ratings I've given you since it's after 5pm so you're probably on your second bottle of wine of the evening (or is it your third?)

Well that's the end of that then.

I do dislike some of these buttons, specifically the negative ones. Not much more to say if you agree etc with someone, but if you disagree much better to reason your point, rather than just clicking a button. In my view.

As for your last paragraph; a rather puerile remark, that made your post unpleasant. Of course, I could of just clicked dumb. ;)
 
FWIW, at this late stage in the thread, in bath or shower rooms with no opening window (or natural light) I have taken to installing two lights, one “main” one that switches worth the fan that then has an over-run timer for the obligatory quarter hour and another secondary light. This might take the form of an illuminated mirror or shaver light or similar,and may or may not have a switch on the plate outside the door. It all depends on what the paying customer wants.
 
Use a fan with an integral pull-switch. Most bathroom visits don't need the fan, so you just switch the light on. If you need the fan, pull the switch. The isolator cna be kept for isolation purposes and no rewiring is needed.

Thats OK on existing properties, but not compliant with new builds and extensions with BCO involved IMHO
