a puzzler can anyone explain it ?

Was at a house tonight that has 15 GU10 led fittings with 1.2W lights.
They are in 3 rows of 5 the 2 outside rows are on together and switched from 1 end and work fine.
The middle row are 2 way switched but when switched off always have a slight glow !
Any one have any ideas why ? I have changed the bulbs around and nothing changes checked the
switches and they are all perfect but still only the middle row glow any ideas guys ?
I changed the bulbs to 1.3W ones tonight and it has stopped them glowing but I still cant explain
why the 1.2W ones glow and would like to find a reason for future reference ?
They were all from Wicks's except for the 1.3W's they were from B&Q just in case anyone else has
had similar problem.

I'm having a little bit of a brain block would a 240k ohm resistor use about .22 watts?

Your brain's working fine!

Ah good! Lol iv got a similar issue I had a fed switch so took a 3core to first light then using the 3rd core as a switch line to the next light and when main first light on second light flashes every few seconds!! So am I right in just putting the resistor in the end of line l-n
