UK Luceco f type ultra LED spotlight glowing when off, reading 3V between SL and N when switch off?

Hi all, I recently replaced five old spots with F Type's, and they are glowing when off. I dropped the first one and tested in the terminals and I'm getting 3V, when the switch is off. Any on what I can do to find what could be backfeeding this?

Sounds like you need a snubber.

The cables can act as a capacitor and let a small amount of current through, which is the usual cause.
