Two bathroom lighting circuits one fan

[iamnotthemessia]

Hello i'm a builder constructing a very posh bathroom. The customer wants two lighting circuit, one main the other mood but both ned to trigger the in line fan. In electronics ( my background ) I'd use an OR gate, is there a 240v alternative, my electrician doesn't know of anything. Customer really wants to shower with mood lighting.
Cheers

Use a double pole switch or double pole pull cord for each set of lights.

Perhaps just have the two sets of lighting on seperate switches and the fan on a ceiling mounted PIR ? Then if the posh owners do something nasty in the bog during daylight hours the fan will still help out. :laugh3:

is opening the window not posh enough?

Perhaps your electrician needs to learn about this amazing modern invention called the electromagnetic relay.

How about this?



Grid switches (or DP pull cords) for the switches. If you need the fuse too (for fusing down the fan, if it requires it), you could fit this all in a 3 gang grid switch.

LOOKS ok. 10/10 TO THE SPIDER.

Hey up, what's going on there then?

 

[telectrix]

some posh git thinks he's donald frump. what's the point of mood lighting in a shower when youse got yer eyes closed to keep the bloody soap oot.

Au contraire, surely you mean body wash. :wink5:

 

[happysteve]

I agree. You need a decent amount of light to see where you've dropped the brillo pad...

Or just have a 3 gang switch with the 2 lights and fan switched seperately, this is how I prefer to do it.

Doesn't really need a relay this one though does it. Daz

PIR option as suggested above sounds promising. That way if you have a shower in the daylight you don't need to put the lights on. Or just a fan with a pull switch built in - it's not exactly hard work to pull the cord is it. Daz

2 way pull switch.
