Solving the Mystery of LED Lights That Stay On

Modified on Wed, 22 Nov, 2023 at 12:11 PM

Introduction: Have you ever noticed your LED lights glowing faintly even when switched off? This common issue with LED bulbs, especially GU10 types, is usually due to something called residual current.

What Causes the Glow? LED lights need very little power, so even a small leftover current in the circuit can make them glow dimly when they should be off.

How to Fix It:

  • Use a Load Regulator: A load regulator absorbs this extra current, stopping the glow. These devices are made for LED circuits. You can find products like Varilight Glowfix or other similar ones.
  • Add More Bulbs: Another solution is to put more GU10 bulbs in the circuit. This spreads out the current and reduces the glow. Just make sure your circuit can handle more bulbs. Explore our range of GU10 bulbs here.

Conclusion: If your LED lights don't turn off completely, don't worry. Using a load regulator or adding more bulbs can solve this problem. Always check with an electrician if you're unsure about adjusting your lights.
