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.

    Can you use a lights transformer? I found a 12v fan at a decent price but it doesn’t come with transformer, if I can get away with a light transformer, I could put this in the ceiling at the size of them. 




    Unless you us a SELV transformer you are back to where you started, you could end up with 230 bolts at the fan.


    So you need to use the correctly rated transformer that is marked as SELV.
