Bungalow with loft conversion, DB 17th edition split load, so all circuits RCD protected.
Corridor has 3 wall lights, 2 on one switch, 2nd on its own switch. Also kitchen lights, lounge and living room on this circuit.
Customer fitted G9 (I think) LED lamps to hall fittings, and they don't fully turn off, always emitting a low glow. Checked voltage L to N and L to E and both read approx 60V. Interestingly the act of putting my fluke multimeter across the terminals to take a reading turned the LED lamps off - capacitor in the fluke?
Checked through the circuit as best as I could around the loft extension - small crawl space and lots of insulation - found several joints all on choc blocks for this circuit, by splitting them up I isolated the circuit to just the hall lights and the lounge lights, the cable then goes under the extension. The fault was still there - isolated the lounge off at the dimmer switch, fault still there.
Tried taking out the LED lamps - voltage still there.
Isolating the MCB removes the voltage.
Can't get to any more of the circuit, so any ideas where the stray voltage is coming from, or can I just fit something like a snubber and mask the problem?
