    I hope it doesn't , I'll be pissed. These things were supposed to be energy efficient, but it seems like they've found a way to continue to get deeper in our pockets.

    Just the kind of response I'd expect from a heliocentric sheep. ;)

    What if David was right about everything all along?

    And cancer isnt real
    And rocks are alive
    And Bob Marley was assasinated by the CIA
    And I am a turtle?

    Ha-ha, Dave was an expert in CFL lamps (or rather smashing them up)
    To glow softly, an LED can draw only fractions of a watt and their are many possible explanations for yours.
    Cables drop voltage, so a high loading appliance in your neighborhood can raise the voltage on the neutral to a higher point than yours.
    Since houses are split between the 3 phases of the supply transformer, all sorts of low voltages on passed by one phase onto the neutral will be at an increased (rather than lower) voltage to your line.
    It could also just be damp in your switch passing a small current.
    Electromagnetic induction (you house cables collecting high frequency energy from cellphone or television transmitters in the area) is yet another possibility.

    Only one thing is certain. That being that unless it is you switch at fault, the current will not register on your meter.

    With the increasing use of diode lighting, coupled with people drawing high current to charge electric vehicles, many strange phenomenons will occur in the future.

    Back in my student teaching days, I passed 1.5 million volts into the air in one of our laboratories. I asked the students to unpack a box of fluorescent tubes and as 2 students held each end of the tubes they lit.
    The laboratory floor ended up covered with broken glass as they dropped them and I was not exactly popular with my teaching inspector, for turning my students into high voltage Ariel's .

    Turtles on the internet always amuse me after I read a question on another forum a few years ago.
    " Where to baby turtles get their larger shells, before the suffocate in their baby ones".
    By the time that I had posted a long explanation about exoskeletons. giving finger and toe nails as an example. someone else had replied.....They buy them at Walmart..

    Totally know who David is, as I always care about bothering to remember members actual first names as well as their usernames

    I was thinking and maybe hoping this was about the user, David. Lol. He was a laugh for a week.
