Two Stage Pull Switch For Bathroom???

[Pete E]

Does anybody know if there is such a thing as a "two stage" switch for the bathroom? ie pull once, and the light comes on, then pull a second time and the extractor fan comes on?

 

[MJPD29]

Not too sure, as how would you turn the light off then?

 

[Pete E]

I think the third pull would just turn off both as normal...

 

[MJPD29]

I have never seen one, but if there isn't one you could take this idea to dragons den

You could always just break the switch live from the light switch to fan through a pull cord with a neon and put it beside it, that way they'l know which is which

Yes, a second switch would be easy enough to fit, but I just wondered if there was already something suitable out there..

What about this:

Looks like a 3 position switch..
Depending on how this works.... You would have to have something like a T flip-flop for position 1 (Light), then another T-flip-flop for postion 2 (Fan) and then position 3 resets both T-flip-flops.

That's the sort of thing, but not sure how you would physically mount that...But at least I now know what they are called which is a step forward

I'm not sure how this switch works. It might work the way you want.. You could always ask them the question.

Spon, that's not a 3-way momentary switch. It is a 3-pole fan isolation switch. One pull for on, one pull for off.

It is a 3 pole isolator.
