Hi,
Anyone else had this experience over the extreme Arctic conditions?
Bought a B+Q (Manrose/Marley) basic Showerlite (illuminated extractor kit) and fitted it above my shower with the fan in the loft above, venting to outside.
Been fine for the couple of weeks before the cold spell, then it went bang.
Checked it out and found both motor and connection compartment running with condensation.
Amazed to find it's only IP44 and not IP67... could have burned my roof down!
Not only did the fan burn out but the arcing took out the electronic transformer that powered the integral shower light too!
I feel this kit is not 'fit for purpose'.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.......
....any comments gratefully received
Thanks
Dave
