Another extractor fan question!

[FatAlan]

Looking to install an extractor fan for a client. Issue is that they have a child that sleeps in an adjacent room and they like to keep the bathroom light on but obviously not with the fan going. The obvious solution is to switch off the fan using the isolator but this switch is going to be quite high up. They'd like it working on a humidistat rather than a timer. It will be ceiling mounted and needs to be as quiet as possible. Any recommendations / options / solutions?
Was wondering if an extractor would continue to work on the switch line if the permanent live was cut? i.e. if you put an additional switch in the permanent live after the isolator? Must admit I'm of a mind to recommend a humidistat with timer but just on a very short time setting.

why not fit a pull cord isolator so they can switch off at child's bedtime without standing on a chair?

Light is already switched from a pull cord so would that mean two pull cords?

Also need to fit a separate fuse in there somewhere.

Shame its not part of a care home. That along with the alarm cord and I make that three!

4 with the shower fire switch. could fit bells on the cords, practice some campanology.

Silent running fan? Poor kid needs their sleep.
Is there an opening window in the bathroom? I think you could have an untimed fan on a simple switch, seperate to the light.

Nah! That's too logical, sensible and straight forward!

Not a great fan (see what I did there) of humidity fans. Got a couple in my place. They got a mind of their own.

I quite enjoyed that extractor fan question... not your average sort at all. And I particularly liked the small sleeping child aspect to it.... added a nice human touch.
