I wondered if I could ask for some advice - I have a ceiling lamp fitting comprising 4 gu10 type 35w halogen spotlights. Some time ago I swopped the bulbs for LED versions which worked fine, but I decided to put the originals back for the darker mornings. When I took the led bulbs out, I noticed that when left with only one LED bulb in situ ( the other 3 holders empty) the one remaining bulb glowed, very very dimly, although switched off. On installing one of the original halogen bulbs into any of the other holders, ( still switched off) it went out. Could anyone suggest a cause as to why this might be happening? Cheers.

MarkiSparkie,
Tried your resistor drain across fitting, made no effect, how does one calculate what value to use. This fitting now has 3 leds and all stay dimly lit after switch off. It is a two way circuit and all other criteria is as described. Help appreciated.
