what i need now is something to 'kill' the induced voltage .... like maybe a resistor or a capacitor across the load perhaps??
having spent many idle moments pondering all possible, I am convinced it's induced voltage as EVERYTHING checks out fine, circuit wise ... no **** ups
will have a suss of the practicalities of re-arranging things to the simpler 'std.' two way circuit ...... but as said there will still be 100+ ft of live wire nestled beside the offending non-live wire, to induce a voltage into ..... bugger
I'm considering going to low voltage (12-24V) control system and banging a relay in the shed to handle the 240V side of the switching .... a bloody faff, but would isolate the remote cabling completely
thanks for the input guys
