I have one of those, but never realised that the neon was connected in this way! I’ll have to dig it out and have a look!

Thanks. SimonT.

Well, I’ve found it and had a look.... the neon in mine is wired between line & neutral, and appears to be original without any sign of modification.

I wonder if they changed the spec during its production run? Interesting......
It was manufactured by ‘Cybernaut Controls’ of
Kent, but I can’t find any information on this company.
