If I put in a switched lighting circuit, can I connect a circuit to that already switched circuit ?
Specifically, I am installing a lighting circuit in a bathroom. Customer wants a switched fan to be connected to the load side of the light switch so that in order to turn the fan on, he has to turn on the lights. When he turns the lights off, the fan turns off also. The lights can be on without the fan but the lights have to be on before he can turn on the fan.
Co-worker says that is not permitted. I say it is permitted.
