wiring in a ceiling fan????

[Tencho1234]

Hi,

I have a ceiling fan which i would like to fit in my bedroom using the existing ceiling rose to connect too.

The ceiling fan has a connector block requiring a neutral/line and earth. am i right in thinking i can use the switched line form the wall switch for the line, the black cables for the neutral and obviously earth to earth? and then connect up the red cables in a seperate connector block to continue the circuit?

I would like the ceiling fan to be controlled by the existing wall switch.

Many thanks in advance for any help!!

So you won't want the fan on unless the light is on ..................

hopefully, the fan will have 2 pull switches, one for the light and one for the fan, doubling as speed controller.

if the rose is 3 plate, then you have the option of using the wall switch or not. all depends on the fan.

Yes the fan has two pull chains one for the light and one for the speed control, im looking at only having the fan on with the light then at night i can use the pull chain to switch off the light.

Then you should be OK if it a light type one. You will use the switch line as you say for the LIVE into the fan

I think Goldie just rounded up rather than round to the nearest...

If the fan has speed control switch,why not wire the fan on permanent live and the light on the SL.So you can control them indipendently .

It would appear Goldie 123 ... you looked at the OP's join date and not the date the post was made hence the humerous banter quoted to your post, that's if you are still confused why you calculated it differently, there appears to be no malice meant tbh, just jovial banter.
