[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 38211, member: 250"] ?? :| 99.9% Its the lamp! I know of loads of installations where the landing-hall strappers all run bunched with other cables following the main route from hall up to loft! They should all have bucket loads of induced voltages from shower circuits & ring mains etc.. BUT THEY DONT! Don't get too confused with this 50v reading, Is it old wiring with a "Shared neutral" between lighting circuits? That can give an apparent voltage via another path back to the CU through a bulb. Take all the bulbs out dis all wires out of CU for the circuit. If it is a proper induced voltage you should read something via your light circuit back to another suitable earth ref point, (e.g. extn lead from socket). ;) ES screw fitting bulbs can flicker when the springy contact at the very back looses its bounce! due to age & heat! :D [/QUOTE]
