[QUOTE="SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH, post: 284945, member: 16"] Do a search here for inductive. With standard household 2 way wiring, When the light is off, that switchline cable is running in parrallel with the live cables.This acts like a transformer and can induce a current (very very small) into the circuit. A normal tungstan lamp discharges this through the element but with low energy or some led's this small current is enough to charge up components like a capacitor and try to strike the lamps. Its not enough so they flicker. [/QUOTE]
