I'm trying to wire 3-way switches on either side of a ceiling lamp. The
power initiates at one of the switches. I've got the wiring scheme figured
out but I have a problem.

Prior to installing the lamp fixture I decided to check the switch functions
(at the ceiling lamp) with this simple $ 1.00 neon tester. With the switch
on the neon tester gives full brightness, with switch off it still lights
up, but very dim.

Before I develop a migraine reading through that again, are the
switches a "Pilot light" design to light up when they are off? That
would explain some current flow through the neon pilot lights.

The switches stamped "ILLUMINATED" on the back would be a big clue.
