I would be looking at an extractor timer, that's designed to time
extractor fans.
You connect up the extractor timer to a momentry switch, and a switched
output from the PIR in parallel, to a momentary switch.
This way, you get an extra 5 mins (or whatever you set it to) whenever
the PIR triggers, or whenever the light is pressed). Run the fan from
the same circuit.

Good point whatever lighting solution is chosen.

Easy alternative.
1W LED light, on all the time, that's enough to see where you are going
to turn the main switch on.

I think this is probably a good idea for a backup, no matter what is put in.
