My lamps still emit light after being switched off – why is this?

Sometimes, your lamps may still emit a small amount of light after being switched off. This is often caused by leakage current or residual voltage running through the wiring or dimmer to the lamp.

Possible causes:

• Incorrect installation of the lamp or dimmer.

• Leakage current or residual voltage in the electrical circuit.

This small amount of current allows the lamp to receive a minimal voltage, which can cause a faint or occasional glow. This is especially noticeable with LED lamps, as they are very sensitive to low voltages.

Tip: Check that the lamp and dimmer are correctly installed and that no leakage current is present. In some cases, installing a capacitor or resistor can help reduce this effect.
