In article , Jeff says...

Sorry I'm being so obtuse about this, but could you post a diagram showing how
this works on a "3-way" switch?

But of course:
o--------------------o
/ |
H-----------------o O o-------------Lamp---N
| /
o--------------------o

They put the pilot light between the two poles of the switch.
Interestingly the tiny bit of current that flows when the
light is 'on' is due to the exact stray capacitence that
started this thread!
