Bathroom fan on a dimmer sith leds.

[Dave OCD]

Depending in the make & model trigger voltages can be quite low. I've seen bad switches passing ~ 50v, as long as the perm live is normal the fan starts & runs happily.

This isn't relevant as we're not talking about a timer fan in this instance.

Just throwing it out there, I knew had to change it.

I would have thought below a certain voltage the fan motor would just stall.

Didn't seem to struggle, slow fast

Did you test it with an anemometer, I'm sure you'll see the difference!

Defyg your off the rictor, the dimmer does control the fan, but isit a good idea or not. Il likely change it tomorrow if I have dp pullcord about me

Im sure it does but any speed variation will after the extract rate which also isn't a good idea.

Dont really care about extract rate, was just wondering would the motor burn out or would it not, wood the dimmer burn out would it not..

As said you can buy universal plug in fan controllers for fans with no settings, was thinking its simialar...
