Vijay Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Need to fit a ceiling one with a roof tile vent and just wondered if anyone had any recommendations? Also, any suggestions on a way to switch it on? I know normally it's with the light and over run, but that isn't great if you shower during the day. Cheers Vijay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 My favourite was a switch next to the light switch for the fan. Then you can choose fan but no light when showering in the day, and light but no fan when you just want to use the loo in the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have me thinking though, I wonder about a kinetic momentary fan switch if it exists, that I could fit inside the room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 You just turn the fan switch on before entering the room as you do the light. Or a pull cord switch inside the room for the fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vijay Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 my sparkie put her off pull chords lol I just thought a switch inside the room is good for someone who's eaten too much too lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpmiller Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 flick the light on for a couple of seconds as you enter, then it'll run on the overrun time as you shower. Likewise if there are nasty niffs to deal with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMo Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Or you could go for something similar to this, with integrated PIR https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/SLEA4DLC.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vijay Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 not sold on the pir which will obviously come on every time they go in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMo Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Switching options are, may be others but not aware of any. Humidistat, but these are not great in the UK climate and humidity swings with seasons. PIR could be with a delay timer, in and out in a minute does nothing, anything longer for example a shower or a number 2 it comes on. Manual switch, our MVHR has humidistat, but is pretty rubbish, so use manual switch by light switch to make boost when showering etc. Light Switching, as you mention no light on, no fan on.
