I recently fitted a backlite bathroom mirror. It has 1 circular tube and three smaller straight tube and the ballast inside and all these are pre-wired.
At night there is a ghostly flicker when it not switched on, this can only be seen at night(in the dark).
I think that the neutral has been used as the switch as i can see in a connecting box the blue looping back towards the switch.
I contacted the manufacturer but am still waiting for them to return the call from their technical department.
Can anyone tell me if the neutral has been used as a switch, if this is legal , safe?
Where i purchased it has offer to replace but am concerned that it will also be wired in this fashion.
