All water under the bridge I guess.

Any water or just hot?
What sort of hot water system do you have?
What sorts of lights? Mains or 12V?
CFLs? LEDs?
Any other relevant evidence?

Sorry chaps! This just goes from bad to worse - I just got home and re-tested it, and it’s the COLD tap that triggers it; my humble apologies for misleading you.
I also noticed that it didn't happen when I first turned the tap on. I was filling the kettle, and there was no effect on the lights. It was only after I had boiled the kettle that it first happened. As soon as I went to refill the kettle the lights brightened when I turned on the cold tap.
I’m not sure if this is any help, but at least you now have the accurate version to work on!

Well that's definitely starting to head in the direction of some sort of earthing problem CK.
