LED Glows with power off

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

I have kitchen ceiling light on a 3-way switch. The switches have a neon blub that glows when the lights are off, so as to locate the switch in the dark. I replaced the incidesent  bulbs (candlelabra style) with LED bulbs. The LEDs glow with the power off, and come up full brightness with power on. Is this a switch problem?

Try switching off the breaker/fuse to that room and take a look at the bulb.  If the glowing stops, its your switch.

Yes the light switch might cause the problem. A fraction of a milliamp can cause an LED to glow.
