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.

    As said, the transformer is not huge and is easily accomodated outside the bathroom at least one socket/switchplate distance below the ceiling to allow some airflow to circulate. That way you have mains in (Low Voltage) and 12V out (Extra Low Voltage). Note it is Seperated Extra Low Voltage (SELV) therefore no earth.

    In England and Wales the addition of an extracor fan to a bathroom is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations
