Hi
I just bought a whole load of G10 & G9 - 240V - 6W - LED bulbs to replace all the Halogen units fitted in my house. All was going well until I replaced the bulbs in a 3 bulb, non-dimmable light fitting in the dinning room when I noticed that the new LED’s were still showing a very faint glimmer with the light switched off!
I put a meter across the main light fitting feed to the 3 bulbs & registered 28 volts! I removed the LED bulbs one by one & the voltage remained constant, only disappearing when I removed the last LED bulb. This is a two way light fitting so I checked & took another reading with the wall switches in the opposite mode, this time got a lower reading of 19 volts &, again, the voltage disappears when I remove the last LED bulb.
If I put the Halogen bulbs back in & check across the main feed again, I get a zero volts reading in both switch modes. Can anyone advise what’s going on
