Had exactly the same thing on a neon pilot light on a chest freezer. When
the room light was on it glowed solid, in the dark the neon flickered. This
pilot light had run for about 20 years continuous before this started, then
finally the freezer quit and had to be replaced.

I got one of those orange colored neon night lights in my bathroom.
When the bathroom light is off, this neon light flickers all the time
(which usually means the neon bulb is getting weak). However, when I
turn on the bathroom ceiling light, the night light stops flickering.
WHAT THE HECK?????? This makes no sense at all.

Note: (There is not any photo cell on the night light).
