I don't exactly know what you are saying, but yes you can wire an exhaust
fan to the circuit feeding the light, although if the fan is above the
tub-shower, it will have to be U.L. listed for that purpose and protected by
a gfci


I remember being in motels that had a fan in the bathroom, wired to
the light so the switch turned both on. That was annoying.

We want to add an exhaust fan to our bathroom, but rather than fish wires
through walls, is it OK to wire the fan to the existing light fitting
(separate recessed fitting for the shower, so there's already a ground
wire)?

Any Code issues here?
