Hello to all. To G6Tanuki, this light is about 2 years old. It is a 22W fluorescent magnifier light, fed directly from the mains. I just thought it strange, that the neon tester lights when contacted to the steel of the lamp, and doesn't do so when connected to other electrical devices. And!!! The neon tester lights, when connected to the steel structure of the lamp, whether the work light is switched on or not. Thanks for your advice. All the best. John.
