Vent axia vent-a-light in-line fan and light 441424

[Scillybeing]

I am replacing a Manrose bathroom fan and light as the Manrose fan stopped working. Although it says 'complete kit' and the website I bought from said c/w light transformer there wasn't one in the pack and one is not shown on the contents image on the instruction book.

I have wired the light to the Manrose transformer, and the fan via the separate control unit that was supplied.

When I pull the light pull the light comes on for less than a second then off and the fan comes on and runs until the timer switches it off.

Previously I tried fitting an LED to the Manrose light, which was halogen, a similar thing happened, the light would come on then cut out.

It is Saturday and the suppliers are not open until Monday and I have a hole in the bathroom ceiling to fix. Can anyone help please?

The 441424 should include a transformer for the light, if you are using with LED you require a driver rather than a transformer.

I notice the front cover says DC selv output for both fan and light assembley but the illustration only shows one control unit, and thelight is not shown wired to this

There should be a control unit, often found attached to the impeller housing and a separate driver/trany for the light.
Can you upload some pictures of the kit you have?

the fan is 12v and no controller attached, the controller is the only other item apart from the ducting, light assembly, alternative bezel/surround and the vent grill (plus cable ties and a bag of screws and rawl plugs) perhaps the driver/transformer is missing

This is how it looks to me-
Picture one, controller/power supplied to fan
Picture two, impeller with connection junction.
Picture three, shower light.

Looks like you have the driver/trany missing.
