Two Dim?

[KEVINDOE]

Hi Guys,

Came across a low volt extractor fan and light unit above shower on a dimmer switch whilst doing a p.i.r.

Can anyone see a prob, does this warrant a code ??

Thanks jem

not sure about a code, but if dimmed, the fan may either not work at all or , worse, burn out. i would definitely advise replacing the dimmer.

I suppose it askes the question of why, if you had access to the fans manufacters instructions and it says not to dim it then yes a code 4 at the least, if you hadn't then no code.

If the light is a dimmable kind, then again no code.

do you mean low voltage or are they elv? in both cases the dimmer switch will affect the speed of the and extract efficiency if the fan 230V or ELV transformer are in series with the switch , although not warranting a code it also not strictly correct
