Rechargeable Bathroom light that doesn't set off the extractor fan, for nighttime loo visits?

Anyone recommend a solution? Don't want to set off the fan in the night.

Although our fan has been disconnected, we don't use the bath anymore and the shower is in a different room, we have a solar security light on the windowsill which recharges during the day. It comes on, albeit briefly when we go to the toilet at night. And arm wave reactivates it if necessary.

We have one of these on the side of the cabinet, above dog height, so you go in and the light comes on. It takes rechargeable batteries, they last for ages. I bought one for a friend's elderly mum, she thinks it's great as previously used a torch

Our fan has a five minute delay. So it only comes on if the lights on for more than 5 minutes. DH programmed it so I can't recommend one but I'm sure you can buy one.

I have the same problem, I hate the noise of the fan at night and also the bright light in the bathroom so I bought two packs of these. Motion sensor leds and recharges via usb. You basically stick the long magnet on the wall, and stick the metal bit on the back of the light and then you put it on the magnet. I usually have at least one other charged so when I need to charge one I just swap it out with another charged one. They don't take long to charge anyway.
These particular ones don't seem to be available on Amazon at the moment but when I was looking there seemed to be plenty of other similar choices. Also, so much better than having to fuss around with batteries.

Looking at the date I bought them, and the cheap price of them, they are lasting brilliantly even after more than two years of constant use.

Just turn the fan off at the main switch outside the bathroom at night. That’s what we do.

We have Mr Beams lights and use 4 AA rechargeable batteries in them. We have them blu-tacked to the skirting board on the landing for the children and in the children's bathroom too.

They are soft white and don't sear your eyeballs when you get up for a nightime wee.
Motion sensor . They don;t stay on for very long but if they go out before I've finished, I just wave my arm and they light up again

Not everyone has a switch to turn it off. I'm sure I would have tried this before posting!
