More importantly, what is the big deal about a fan coming on at night?

Now you are being silly. Nights are for sha****g and sleeping, more of the latter at my age unfortunately, not listening to Xpelairs when the wife's had a few too many pino grigios.

Dunno, its not like the birds twiting in the morning, or the rain pitter pattering on the window, its god dam annoying!

Well, birds twiting (??), rain pattering, wife up and down, I'm off to bed and I don't give a ---- cos I aint got a bathroom extractor!!!!!! And If I did I wouldnt have an isolator or a 3A fuse and ***k the regs.............good evening.

I find it relaxing.......reminds me of being on holiday in the hotel room haha

It's only on for 2 mins, could see to the missus a few times before it goes off

Stick it on its own pull cord.

Surely I'm not the only one who thinks pull cords are old hat? I think they look dreadful.

fit a fan pull cord isolator switch if you want local isolation in the bathroom just shorten the pull cord so it is not used to turn on & off lights but is reachable by adults to turn it off over night if they wish, no need for a Neon switch, these units are 3 pole & also have an on-off indicator on them, went to a nursing home years ago loads of fans installed direct off the lights & no means of isolation to the unit, installed these units made the job nice & quick and reasonably priced.
as for the RCD unit if you are only doing work on the fan & it is outside the bathroom then not really an issue.
if you are really concerned then I would say take the feed for the bathroom itself that the fan is powered from into a cupboard if available on the landing or close to it if possible & install RCD fused spur in there, at least if the RCD unit goes they don't have to get in the loft. fan isolator pull cords that i bought think were about £4.00
