One of us is losing the plot.I wish you would stop being so childish. You know jolly well which question I was talking about.
And what's the current path for the neon then?If one uses Lin and Lout for the SP switching, all one has to do is add a link between Nout and Lin to get the desired ‘reverse neon’ functionality (assuming neon is connected between Lout and Nout).
When switch (and light) is off ....And what's the current path for the neon then?If one uses Lin and Lout for the SP switching, all one has to do is add a link between Nout and Lin to get the desired ‘reverse neon’ functionality (assuming neon is connected between Lout and Nout).
L feed > Lout terminal > neon > Nout terminal > link > Lin terminal > load > neutral
(had I been giving 'full instructions', I would have indicated that the L feed has to go to Lout) There could, of course, possibly be issues if the lamp were something more complicated than an incandescent one, but that would have been discussed had the OP been interested in the idea.
Kind Regards, John

I don't really know why I bother to play this game, since you know full well what I'm saying. It wasn't a whole post that you failed to respond to - it was my reply to your question about current path for the neon (in my message to which your above was a partial response).And this was my reply to your reply:
So please tell me which of your posts I failed to respond to.There could, of course, possibly be issues if the lamp were something more complicated than an incandescent one
You'll have to try to work it out for yourself then - since I'm clearly not capable of explaining to you.FGS - I am not playing a game and I really do not have a clue what you're saying. I have not failed to respond to/reply to/answer/whatever-term-you-care-to-use-to any of your posts.
There you go, so it wasn't true that you "didn't have a clue as to what I was saying". Quite easy, really, wasn't it?Surely you haven't been doing all this because I didn't explicitly say anything in response to the highlighted parts of your answer.
Not at all, but I suppose I'm going to have to spell this out for you, even though I really wanted to spare you that. When you asked "And what's the current path for the neon then?" you obviously thought that you had 'caught me out' in some way, but when I gave a valid answer you in no way acknowledged that I had explained the path satisfactorily (hence indicating that your 'challenge' was unfounded). One can only speculate as to why you felt it appropriate to remain silent about that.Are you now expecting people to reply to absolutely everything you write, or face complaints? ...
Please see the post that I was typing when you posted this.I have worked it out for myself. ... For some unaccountable reason you think I haven't replied to you when you answered a question of mine. ... The evidence of my own eyes tells me that you are incorrect. ... That you cannot explain why you think I didn't reply doesn't come as a great surprise.
No - it wasn't.(You slipped this in after I replied)There you go, so it wasn't true that you "didn't have a clue as to what I was saying". Quite easy, really, wasn't it?Surely you haven't been doing all this because I didn't explicitly say anything in response to the highlighted parts of your answer.
Spare me what?Not at all, but I suppose I'm going to have to spell this out for you, even though I really wanted to spare you that.
No - I wanted you to describe the current path in your solution.When you asked "And what's the current path for the neon then?" you obviously thought that you had 'caught me out' in some way,

So you implement a solution which causes a problem and then have to do yet more things to cure the problem you have created.... but quite possibly not - and, in any event, it's exactly the same potential issue as would exist with the 'neon surrounds' that others were suggesting (and, even if there were 'an issue', quite probably not one that a capacitor across the lamp wouldn't cure).
That issue apart, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?Do I take it from your silence on the matter that, those potential issues apart, you are content with the current path for the neon which I indicated?
John - given the number of times you have seen people come here complaining about lights flashing, or being on dimly when they should be off, I am gobsmacked that you would suggest creating a current path through the light when it is supposed to be off.When switch (and light) is off ....And what's the current path for the neon then?If one uses Lin and Lout for the SP switching, all one has to do is add a link between Nout and Lin to get the desired ‘reverse neon’ functionality (assuming neon is connected between Lout and Nout).

I beg your indulgence - I really cannot think of anything to say to that.(had I been giving 'full instructions', I would have indicated that the L feed has to go to Lout)
You don't say...There could, of course, possibly be issues if the lamp were something more complicated than an incandescent one
Since you'd given him full instructions on how to create a leaky path through his lamp when off how do you know that he wouldn't just go off and do it?but that would have been discussed had the OP been interested in the idea.
I was never unhappy. Never assume.Happy now?
