Is it possible? Dimmer & fan

Client has requested bathroom lighting to be dimmable.

This poses a problem which I wonder if you might be able to assist with.

Am thinking about possible conflict between fan timer electronics and dimmer switch electronics?

If this is indeed a problem, is there a way of solving it by utilizing a different wiring method?'

There will be 2 switches employed, one to switch 3 x downlights and the other to switch a led strip on one wall and a pendent light over a vanity unit.

I propose that the 3 x downlights be connected with the fan and the other circuit be switched separately.

  • Rather depends on the dimmer, as well as on the fan trigger type - a humidistat may be a better option for not waking the house with the fan for a quick pee in the night, and still extractin for a shower in daytime in a bathroom with windows anyway.

    But that to one side so, most fan triggers will fire off the sliced waveform of a conventional dimmer switch thought may not always fire at the dimmest setting.
