Need help wiring a Extractor Fan

[JayKay70]

Hi all,

Looking for some help wiring a extractor fan.

At present i have a fan that is running of a 3 amp Isolator+Transformer and then going straight to the light fitting, i am looking to replace this fan with a more modern type one as the one i have right now is a eyesore and don't fancy keeping it as i am decorating the bathroom.

I am looking to getting rid of the Fan+Isolator+Transformer and getting a new one that will be fitted to a Isolator switch (to be fitted outside the bathroom just above the door) and from the Isolator to the light switch and then to the light fitting.....so basically:

Fan>Isolator Switch>Light Switch>Light Fitting

The fan i am looking to get is the: Envirovent Silent 100 T Design (With Timer)
Manual is here: https://www.envirovent.com/product-downloads/SILENT_100_DESIGN_install_guide.pdf

I have provided the following in pictures:

Present light switch
Present light fittings

And a diagram i drew up of how i was going to wire it all togethor, this is the big question, is the diagram correct or am i just completly wrong?

Looking forward to your thoughts

p.s Can any answers be as simple as possible as i am not good at electric terminology

All the best

Jay

They do do a 12v version of that fan so you could just wop the fan over

Hi JayKay, welcome to the forum. You probably won't like this, but I think you should employ an electrician to carry out this work. From your pictures, it already looks as if somebody has had a bash at the existing wiring. As the install is in a bathroom (special location in electrical parley), it will need RCD protection and/or the bonding will need checking. Forum rules prevent a step by step guide.

Thanks all for the info, think i will just bite the bullet and just keep the one i have as it's been over two weeks now trying to figure out how to replace it with a slimline version....way to much hassle....never know, the council mitght just upgrade it in the near future

Forgot to add, to be honest it's a very very good extractor fan, does a real good job, just a shame it's so damm ugly, well not so ugly, just so big...i.e deep in size
