Hello all, I installed an LED light yesterday and found that it stays dimly lit when turned off using the supplied IR remote. When turned off at the wall the dim light goes. I had a feeling it might be because I connected the earth to the metal framework by attaching the wire to a nearby screw so I removed this and the dim light goes! Question is - why is this happening? Is there some sort of electrical leak in the earth or does this compete a circuit and the LEDs are sensitive enough to pick up the low current? More to the point, is this normal? Shall I leave the earth connected or should I say - the lights are over 2 meters from the floor and a simple solution is just to keep the earth disconnected?
The attached picture is of the light with the earth disconnected, just to show the wiring.
