Bathroom light switches - what are you guys fitting?

[FatAlan]

Have a clean slate of a bathroom to first fix. My builder mentioned that I should go for door activated or even movement PIR .. not keen. Also I’m not really interested in switch outside as it’s likely to get switched off by someone either accidentally or as a prank. Think I will stick to a pull chord with fan isolator above door on outside. Anyone recommend any trendy new high tech stuff that they’ve been installing?

Pull cords are horrible...I also think they are unhygienic. The standard is obviously a switch on the outside, if someone accidentally turns it off whilst your in there then shout them to turn it back on. I’ve installed 1w leds in recesses in the bathroom on a seperate switch. Gives enough light to see what your doing in the middle of the night without turning the main spots on.

Take a torch with you when you feel the need to pee

Light switch on the outside and a PIR for low level lighting for the times the client/kids need a pee at night. PIR lighting above and below the cabinets in my old place.

All the naysayers on here are used to going to the shed at the back of the garden with an oil lamp for a number 1 or 2.

I’ve just done a refurb and they paid 9k for an all singing and dancing toilet in the en-suite that flips the lid up when you walk in, light comes on, washes, dries etc

I’d just stick with the old trusted switch just outside the bathroom door, pullcords indeed do loom terrible and unhygienic. Like Lee said why can’t you just shout at the scrote to put it back on? PIR in a domestic bathroom will look a right abortion.

If you cant see the pot in the dark, then a visit to speck savers is required, my Mrs can find it with the light off so should everyone else, mind you sometimes your feet can get wet if you don't watch where you step.

£9k for a thunderbox ? That's almost MP expenses territory !

More kin money than sense some people, when I pee at night the only thing on my mind is listening for the splash, and getting back into bed before her indoors nicks all the bedding.

I know...The cheeky sod had the nerve to try and haggle me on price and spends 18K on two crappers

I'm afraid I'd have to pee whilst kneeling for that to dry anything successfully
