Low Information
Neon SG1 on Ideal Mexico Super 100FF / 125FF

This light simply shows that your boiler is currently trying to light its flame, which is a normal part of its startup sequence.

Monitor it

This is a minor fault. Keep an eye on it and mention it at your next annual boiler service. Reset the boiler and see if it clears.

Technical description

Flashes to indicate ignition operation (stops after detection)

What causes this fault?

This indicator light means the boiler is currently sending a spark to the burner to start the heating process. It occurs every time the thermostat asks for heat, appearing as the sequence progresses from the fan starting to the gas valve opening. Once the boiler detects that a flame has been successfully established, the light will turn off.

DIY fix possible

No action is usually required as this is a status indicator rather than a fault.If the light flashes continuously without the boiler firing up, try turning the thermostat up.Check that your gas supply is turned on at the meter.
