It was 600W. And it was an appearance match to the main shower switch
and the one for the extractor. And I couldn't be arsed buying different
ones.

I see. I know I'm weird but I take towels to the wash as soon as they're
significantly damp. I'm very profligate with the washing machines.
Sort of moving on a bit, it's surprising how much washing is generated
by certain types of disability. It comes down to having a lot of
garments in circulation and just not worrying about the electric bill.
That's what PIP is for I guess.
The amount of clinical waste and soiled incontinence products is also
vast. Doncaster Council could offer no help; no big surprise.
I went through this twice, once with my dad and once with my wife.
Anyway, these matters are now behind me. I suppose this is as good a
place to mention it as any, but my beloved wife Hilary died on the 7th
August. I am utterly heartbroken.
