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.

  • Occasionally you can get dimmers were the on/off function is separate from the dimming - the on/off either being a separate rocker or a push-on-push-off behind the dimmer knob - often sold as 2-way variants. A few have a suitable terminal between the switch and dimmer, so if wired appropriately you can pick out a switched by not dimmed line from that.
