Fan Isolator switch alternative

[Leader]

Not a clue what happened with autocorrect there! Will be changing the light switch on the left. Hope that makes sense

Thought it was a new designer switch I hadn't heard of

Is there an option without he neon light? And how will the wiring differ from what I have currently

It's quite simple. Just google
Mk DP switch

Oh, here you are
Click this one instead

Wiring will be the same.

MK 10A D.P. K4876WHI may have to be ordered as may not be stocked at wholesalers you will need to get engraved FAN.

Light switch if 1 way MK K4870WHI or 2 way K4871WHI

That's great. Thanks for your help. Been looking at the technical info for this type. I don't know which wire is load and which is supply. Any idea how I will. Find out?

If you turn the fan off the live and neutral at the top should be live supply but this will need to be tested.

Simply by using a voltage test device.

Hi all, just out of curiosity... If I get a switch with a fuse, the only one I can find is a 13a like this

Would this be OK for what I'm doing or will I need a 20a dp switch without fuse?

Thanks

I have already given you a link with a DP MK switch without a fuse.

Didn't you like my suggestion?
Your existing switch doesn't have a fuse, why do you think you now need one?

Use a fused DP FCU if you like.
You can change the fuse in there for whatever value is appropriate, but it's not necessary for a fan on a lighting circuit.

Can I point out to you that the thickness and look of a switched fused spur or D.P. switch is different to the light plate switch .
