Extractor Fans

[simon_cook 22]

Does anyone know where you can buy a bathroom extractor fan with delay timer?

I have looked everywhere but to no avail.A few years ago i did manage to get a small one in homeworks that was made in Spain but doesnt extract very well and is nowhere near as powerful as the big ones without timers.The guy in homeworks told me back then that they were going to stop selling the Spanish ones as they kept breaking.

Also about 6 years ago when i was looking for the same thing a Thai man who was working on my house managed to get hold of a delay switch that he fitted to a normal extractor fan so that when you turned it off the fan stayed on for 3 more mins on the switch.

When i asked him 5 years later where he got this switch he said he didnt know what i was talking about.I had already thrown it away so couldnt show him,but he couldnt remember ever doing it.

 

So my question is does anybody know where to get this switch with delay or fan with timer?

 

Many Thanks

These things are a nightmare to find in Pattaya. Language barrier doesn't help.

It's trhe sort of thing I bring from the UK on my trips, or you can get a friend who is off to farangland to bring back.

I haven;t seen them in the usual places, Homeworks, HomePro. There is a little electrical shop on Pattaya Nua, head towardss Sukhumivit and it is on the block after the bus station.

What you want is a delay on the switch and a regulat exhaust fan.

 

Something like this If it is incorporated into the fan you will need to run 3 wires to it, live, switched and neutral.
