[QUOTE="ste.247, post: 342923, member: 23578"] Hi, I have just changed a 45amp dp cooker switch & 13 amp socket. The new switch has 2 neon's one for the cooker switch and one for the socket. My problem is when the socket switch is turned off but something is plugged into it, the neon has a very faint glow. Only noticeable when the kitchen light is off. I have re-inspected the connections and it is wired correctly. I know neon's do not need hardly any currant to operate, but as it is on the load side I do not understand where it is getting power from. Any advice would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
