Exhaust fan for bathroom
I need to install a bathroom exhaust fan with a light. It will be installed in a basement with a dropped ceiling. Any recomendations as to where I can purchase this fan/light for the dropped ceiling area? Tried the big box stores with no success.

Here is a step by step procedure for a drop down ceiling.
Right here on DIY forum: https://www.doityourself.com/stry/in...a-drop-ceiling
and here also

Both procedures use the same wires to hang the ceiling tile structure

Big box stores carry the Panasonic line of fan/light combos. They are a few dollars more than the competition but are well worth it. When I install a fan combo in a drop ceiling..... I cut a piece of 1/2" plywood the same size as the tile to lay directly on top of the tile. The fan gets cut thru the tile and the plywood for a strong installation. You will have to add 1x2's or even 2x3's to run along side the fan to screw into. You do have to be slightly creative as most of the combos don't come "ready to install" in a drop ceiling tile.
