12v Fan

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
I am fitting a fan for a friend which is going to be in zone 1, opposite side of bath/shower, is there a fan which is suitable for this? It is about 6ft up from the bath, it’s a small room. I’ve looked at the low volt ones but the transformer is to big, which I have no where to hide it. Do they do them with smaller transformers? Possibly 230v one?


The fan won’t be needing a time delay as to limit any damage they just wanted it to come on and straight off with the light.

    is there any scope for the fan to go in the loft and some ducting ? Normally the transformer goes in the loft or in the airing cupboard or in an adjacent room - putting it by the fan rather defeats the point - bit like the builders who run their rattiest looking 230V cables through the mud to plonk a 110V transformer beside the cement mixer.

    If not, you can fit a mains fan in zone 1, but only if the makers say it is suitable, which restricts the range of models rather. And it has to be supplied via an RCD, so do not just  spur off the lights willy nilly if they are a supplied by 6A hot wire fuse...
