    Hey,

    I was replacing a bulb today and notcied 60v across a light socket when switched off, Checked with earth and its 60v coming from the live wire so its not straying over the neutral from another circuit (I read this is something that happens, no pd between n and e)
    There is two switches for this light. Any idea what could be causing it?
    It wouldnt bother me too much if it wasn't so high, The bulb actually flickers sometimes because of it.

    Thanks

    Might be a problem switch or a damp switch

    I've seen this occasionally with dicky switches. Diconnecting the switched feed coming to the lights will prove the switch.
