    I heard that an energy-saving lamp is also halogen (light bulb), energy-saving, led etc.
    1.My question is about the division, does anyone know what it looks like?
    2. Why is the 50W home LED lamp still on after turning off the power (it is known that it is darker, but it shines)?

    This is the broadly understood energy saving.

    I mean, the light is on in the bathroom for about 20 minutes, then I go out - I turn off the electricity and it still shines, only darker.

    And you don't have backlight switches?

    Buddy, it's obvious you have a question (I mean the title) - that's why you assumed this topic. So describe your problem in detail and do not theorize, because the topic will end up in the trash!

    Some LED lamps shine after switching off because the minimum leakage current of the switch or installation is sufficient for them, even the electric capacity of the installation is enough to observe a weak glow. This phenomenon occurs especially when the switch is in neutral instead of phase.

    As for your 2nd point, I heard that when you have a lamp button / switch with a backlight, the backlight turns on when you turn off the lamp - most often it is a small 230V bulb, rarely an LED diode - and in this case the LED bulb is so sensitive that it works in the same circuit what backlight - you can easily check it - instead of a LED bulb, screw in an ordinary light bulb or with a LED bulb, remove the switch's backlight from the circuit.

    I observed a similar phenomenon in the lead. Maybe it's moisture?

    then it shines all the time as if it works in this circuit and it goes out after time


    magpies :) I wanted to write that it works as if in the same circuit as the backlight - do as I wrote, you will know what it is about. I had the same with LED bulbs and a button with a backlight, and just like I used to buy an "energy-saving" bulb at TESCO for PLN 2.50 and installed it at night, you could see how it gently glows and sometimes even flashes - that is consumes electricity all the time, it stopped burning only when I turned off the fuse ("esa")

    I have a similar problem, so not wanting to start a new thread, I reheat this one.
    I replaced the halogen bulbs at home with LED ones (in the hall I have a wall lamp for two bulbs, and in the bathroom I have one built into the lowered ceiling-3) After turning off the light, they still glow slightly. I will only add that in the bathroom I have a switch with a lamp, but not in the hall, so there is probably no problem with that .... As I gave a stronger light bulb, there is no lighting after switching off. What to do?

    Hello, if you have a connector with backlight, it is possible that it is inducing I had similar problems on the site, replace it with a regular connector and it will be ok

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the phenomenon of LED lamps remaining illuminated, albeit dimly, after being switched off. Users speculate that this could be due to residual current from the switch or installation, particularly if the switch is wired incorrectly (neutral instead of phase). The presence of backlit switches is also highlighted as a potential cause, where the backlight may draw enough current to keep the LED bulb glowing. Users suggest testing the circuit by replacing the LED bulb with a traditional incandescent bulb or removing the backlight from the switch to confirm the issue. One user shares a personal experience of replacing halogen bulbs with LEDs and encountering similar dim lighting after switching off.
