Hi, I've bought a extractor fan which I'm installing in the bathroom. It's going to have its own on/off switch (pull cord). The instructions say that it should be installed via a 3amp FCU. On the specs, under Power, it says 20W.
To my mind this would mean it's acceptable to power it from a spur off the upstairs lighting circuit, which currently has the 4 first floor room lights and a couple of flourescent tubes in the loft. Am I correct in this assumption?
A spur off the ring main would be a bit of a pain as I have already taken a spur off the nearest handy socket for the power shower, and using other sockets in the area would probably involve lifting floorboards etc, so I'm keen to avoid this if possible.
Thanks for any advice. Andy
