That's what flameport said it was in his reply!@flameport, thanks. The light circuit is on though, and the lamp works - could this be Capacitive Coupling? Why am i not reading 240V (other than possibly using the voltmeter wrong!)?
I have just started to learn to use a 2-prong voltmeter. I've been testing the lighting pendants I have around the house, and one is at 20V, whereas the others are at 240V.
Is this usual / is there a reason this is happening?
I've NEVER tried to stick my probes into a pendant lamp holder. Just test at the rose. Pretty sure that's what the OP is doing.I wonder how you are measuring with my lights to get a meter probes into the bulb holder without the risk of slipping and causing a short circuit would be hard. Even with a GS38 lead set.
Possibly in which case he has 4 connectors to select from wonder which he used?I've NEVER tried to stick my probes into a pendant lamp holder. Just test at the rose.

I did have one of theseDon't you have a set of Lightmates?! The bayonet pins have fallen off of the BC one on mine, bloody expensive rubbish.
To get 20V I would have thought switched live (off) to E or NPossibly in which case he has 4 connectors to select from wonder which he used?
No, because like you point out, they're bloody expensive rubbish! I have made one myself for Hager Click Roses with some 30A connector blocks and a spare end, but for BC and ES pendants, I just drop the cover. No big dealDon't you have a set of Lightmates?!
