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

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.


A lot of people think the steam from their showers is different from any
other steam. If the fan didn't go on with the light in hotel bathrooms, the
wallpaper would be falling off in chunks and the maids would spend half
their time removing mildew.
