There is no 'new zone 1'

Zones 0,1 & 2 are the same, just zone 3 has gone

and the requirement for all circuits in the bathroom to be an RCD is irellevant to zones

Yeah thats it.

I've asked this question elsewhere on the web and there seems to be so many different answers. Some say yes you definetly have to and others say only if it has no window and some say it needs a switched fused spur - it also says this in the instructions.???????????

HELP....i dont know which answer is right.. It would be better if i need no isolator at all then i can just go ahead as i wanted.

if someone can shed some light on this with some form of regulation or something it would be great.

also the lights are also wired in twin and earth shall i put a small junction box on and wire the fan and the transformer in flex?
