I have this warm steam vaporizer. It consists of some very simple elements. A power cord that connects to a resistor and a neon lamp (don't know the sorts). The neon lamp and resistor form a series circuit from line to neutral. Parallel to that are two electrodes that sit in water. The water is the heating element in that current passes through the water and generates the steam. This morning I unplugged it. Immediately the steam stopped but the neon lamp continued to glow dimly. It took about 30 seconds to fully extinguish (or to dim so low I couldn't see it). I've never seen a neon lamp do that. Any explanations?
Nothing to be fixed, just asking if anyone else has observed such phenomena.
