HI,
(excuse the layman's explanation - I suspect someone will point out my big error before too long!)
Measured at the hallway ceiling rose;
Phase to earth = 231v
Phase to neutral = 231v
(and to check closer, neutral to earth = 0.14v)
The switched line is 231v when the hall light is selected ON, but sticks at 27volts when selected OFF. This 27v is fairly consistent too. Other lights (measured from bulb sockets only) had up to 45v yesterday, but some were found to be zero today. Nothing I can think of had changed overnight. I could understand fluctations and variations but not steady readings changing overnight to steady zero.
