However ISTR the new 17th Ed wiring regulations permits conventional
wall switches in bathrooms,
The 16th and earlier editions also permitted wall switches, provided
they were out of reach of someone using a bath or shower (which
generally means a big bathroom).

Another alternative is a moisture sensitive extraction fan.
Useful if the aim is to extract moisture. Personally I think the are
an excellent idea in such circumstances, provided people are willing
to open the window when necessary as well.


What are you on about humidity sensor? when you have a crap the place stinks
hence the fan coming into action when you park your bottom on the
toilet...whats the use of the fan not operating when the room is not humid
enough to operate when you're having a crap?

My parents have a motion sensor attached to their extractor fan, which
makes a noise like a Lancaster bomber taking off. When visiting, before
I even remove my trousers, my first task is to bung a bit of bogpaper
over the sensor so that 2 mins later I can read the Sunday Times in peace.
