[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 296117, member: 1607"] With the way you have it wired in one of the off positions there will be two conductors with mains potential on them and one conductor connected to the light, Which may explain your situation of only glowing in the one state. By reconfiguring how steptoe suggests, you can ensure that during either 'off' state that there is always only one conductor at mains potential in both 'off' states. Which cores in the 3-core cable are adjacent to each other may also carry some relevance I think.. i.e. I think most three core is manufactures with "Brown,CPC,Black,Grey" across the flat profile, so Grey and Black conductors probably have higher possibility of inducing currents between them.
