Thanks very much for the reply.
Not sure if you've not fully understood me or I'm just not fully understanding your reply though!
You refer to a neon isolator which I don't think is what I've got. All I've got is power to a fan, with the live feed connected to it via a ceiling pull switch. The neon indicator is connected between the switched live and a neutral return.
However, after reading your reply and seeing something else somewhere about false indications on neons (something to do with the capacitance affect of adjacent cables?), I get the impression that it's not that unusual for this sort of thing to happen.
I guess the main question therefore is whether I should be worried. From my understanding so far, I can't see any reason why I should be.
I'd be interested to know if you agree though!
Thanks again.
