Right, so even though its a low load, it still wouldn't be a good idea. Thanks for the reply.

Hi all, I have a 10A rated 240V delay-off light switch which I'd like to use for my 35W 240V bathroom extractor fan. The instructions that come with the switch states it shouldn't be used for heating or extractors, but I'm wondering whether this just refers to the maximum load expectations or is there some reason an inductive load wouldn't work?
