    Usually after the light

    The bathroom light switch will control the fan

    A 3amp Switched Fused Spur will do as the isolator as there's no timer

    If it has a low voltage led driver that won't power a halogen bulb.

    Anyone see an emerging pattern of common sense here?

    Blue in the face saying this, but this stuff is lethal when done wrong. If you don't understand the simplest of electrical concepts then you shouldn't be working on it.

    Think of your family and / or those that might die before you get the screwdrivers out. :)

    Was it a 50 watt LV type?

    Small and round?

    It will most likely have a transformer fitted so other bulbs won't work.

    Its like an E27 9watt bulb i think
