hello am new to the site.
working in the hotel industry and have change all hallogens lamps to led,but in one of the circuits i have 10 led lamps and when the switch is on the off position 1 of the led lamps stays alight and i am getting 20 volts through the circuit.
any ideas is it possible to have a shared neutral on this circuit and why is only one led lamp staying light when off
 
all the leds are 230volts and are dimmable,but just a normal 1 way switch controling them
 
Sounds like induced voltage from other circuits. You need a Snubber you lucky person!!!

Short term fix is to put back one halogen into the circuit which should help dissipate the induced current.
 
I agree with the induced voltage theory, you could just wire a neon in, hidden away out of sight
 
maybe use that neon tester that came with the set of VDE drivers.
 
just tell the customer that it's an emergency light. :grin::6:
 
try changing the switch, that sometimes works!

Get real, Kath. How could it possibly be that?
If it were the switch surely it would affect all of the lights.
