wiring a tmer fan
Is it possible to wire a timer extractor fan via the lighting circuit ?
(i.e.) Can I tap into the feed to one of the lights ? |

Should add it'll need a live from other than the feed to a light (which will be a switched live) so it can run on after lights switched off... So a bit more than tapping into a feed to a light. Tapping into the lighting circuit would be more descriptive. -- Jim K ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |
