Default Shower Room Extractor Fans

Hello

Planning on installing an extractor fan in the en-suite to reduce
condensation - currently looking at:http://www.extractorfanworld.co.uk/a...100-quiet-extr...

Wondering about how to activate/deactivate the fan. Options seem to be:

(1) dedicated on/off switch
(2) wired to light circuit with 2 min delay
(3) wired to light circuit with in-line isolator switch

I tend to favour (3) since it allows the light to be on without the fan -
good for those occasions when lighting only is needed. What are the regs
concerning switches, fuses etc?

Also wondering about best place to install - currently favouring ceiling
mount near door rather than directly above shower cubicle.

Any comments?

Thanks
Thomas


Why not get one with an inbuilt humidistat, that comes on when it
detects a certain level of humidity, and turns itself off?
