Is it normal for LED lights to glow when off?

So, essentially, if your LED bulb is giving off a dim light even when it’s turned off, this isn’t an indication that there’s something wrong with the bulb but rather that your lighting fixture still has a slight electrical current going through it even when it’s off.

Why does my light still glow when off?





The filament of an incandescent bulb gets extremely hot to give off white-hot light. When you turn off the power to the bulb, the filament takes a few seconds to start cooling down. So it continues to glow slightly as the filament is still quite hot for a few seconds.

How do you fix LED ghosting?

3 options here:

  1. Change the LEDs to an approved product- may not solve the problem.
  2. Change dimmer to the PD-6ANS- most likely would solve or at least reduce the “ghosting” you are experiencing.
  3. Try the LUT-MLC- lots of posts on this, Lutron reluctantly has mentioned the MLC with dimming now.

What causes LED ghosting?

What causes LED bulb ghosting? In most cases, when you turn a standard dimmer off, the electronics inside do not receive any power. Caseta wireless digital smart dimmers still need to receive a small amount of power to be able to receive RF signals. This tiny bit of current can cause this bulb ghosting phenomenon.
