The original fan was ceiling mounted with integral humidistat (Vent Axia Lo carbon). The ducting from the original fan was crushed in the ceiling void and did not work effectively. the fan ran continuously to try unsuccessfully to get the humidy down to the desired level (our bathroom has no windows)
To fix this we have installed a new inline fan ( Manrose MF100s ), in a new location to avoid the area where the ducting was being restricted. We also installed a separate humidistat/timer (Manrose remote humidistat fan timer 1361).
We used the original fan 3 core cable to connect to the humidistat, with an additional 2 core cable running from the humidistat to the new inline fan.
With the fan isolator switch off the LED downlighting work normally with their switch.
however with the fan isolator switched on and the lights on the fan works fine however if I turn the light switch off the fan continues to run and the lights remain on but at a very low dimmed setting.
The humidistat will turn the fan off after the programmed amount of time but the lights remain dimmed.
We don't understand why the lights aren't turning off and are remaining in this dim condition.
We have checked the original wiring to the old fan which had. Brown = live, Black = neutral, grey = live switch. We connected the same cable to the humidistat as Brown = mains live, Black = mains neutral, Grey = Switched live.
We havent changed any other wiring in the bathroom.
Any ideas why the lights are remaining dimmed?
