Most fan isolator switches for bathrooms and WC are positioned outside

to provide isolation for the fan the rest I would suggest is wired directly
into the lighting circuit you describe. I do not know how you intend to
create the cubicle but presume it will be a studded structure with a wall
and doorway at right angles to each other. If so you should be able to
wire in the isolator switch during its construction.

That is a good point, the cubicle will be a standard dry-lined
construction so, as you say, I can put the isolator switch high up and
out of the way somewhere there. Is there any good reason for the
isolator switch being outside the cubicle?

Not unless you have a bath or shower in your cubicle, which sounds
unlikely. But I would put it where no-one is likely to touch it with
wet hands. High up should do.

No, no bath or shower, high up makes sense. I just thought it would
be more out of sight inside rather than outside.


The light is integrated into the fan, though in principle I can't
see any reason for not wiring it such that it can be turned on
even when the fan is isolated.

I have a similar appliance. That is I suppose ok if the fan *can*
actually be serviced without risk of shock from the light circuit.
Mine couldn't be, as the light needs dismantling to get at the fan.

It's a 12v lamp with a transformer, I guess as long as the mains side
of the transformer is inaccessible when servicing the fan then it
would be OK. However I can't see how the lamp being on would help
much so I think I'll drop the idea and isolate the whole thing! :-)
