Extractor fan relay for two independent light switches

[metanet]

Thinking a 240V AC relay activated by two independent light switches could be used to switch power to a shared inline extractor fan. The fan serves two bathrooms, just needs to be activated from two different switched live lighting circuits.
I'm aware double pole light switches could be used in this scenario but the light switches didn't pass wife test.

Anyone know of a dual input relay I could use for this purpose?

Thanks

Just use 2 relays, I did similar in a small apartment referb where they wouldn't knock the toilet and bathroom into one.

The look like they would work, not too keen on the spade terminals though, you will have to start crimping spade lugs onto the ends of the cable . I've used these sorts before now in various projects.

Why 2 relays when 1 would do?

Just use a double pole single gang switch, it's much easier.

Or if you're adamant on not using switches, then you could use a two input solid state relay.

From my point of view they are 10 a penny, simple to use and I've not come across a dual input relay before.

Still cant see point of using 2 relays though

Well lets say I needed to do the above job, I've just been on google, typed in dual input relay and then clicked products, this is what came up.

I'm none the wiser which relay I should buy out of that lot, so I can either take a guess and end up with the wrong thing costing me a days work or I could buy 2 relays and do it that way very easily. Is that a good enough point.
