Wiring a timer fan

a

Only 4 terminals (L SwL N E) and that's standard in a 4 terminal 6A box.
Much easier doing it there than at some wall light.
| An isolating switch will be fitted between junction box and fan. The
| fan doesn't require an earth as per the wiring instructions.
| Yeah, but it's good practise to use 3+E (as suggested by Owain) and to
leave
| the earth unused and safe in the fan.
Specifically required by the regs in fact.
