LED bulb flashes when switched off
The LED bulb we bought from IKEA flashes for a short time when the light switch is off! Why? Is there a problem with my electrics?

Sounds like you have residual voltage leak this is caused by 2 way switching meaning if you can switch the light from another area the control wire between the 2 switches causes this residue and led`s are more prone to this.

No it's simply discharging, more common with the lower end LED lamp

Hi, possibly a switching or connection problem on the lighting circuit. Also it could be a faulty bulb.

Hi. Is it a spotlight? And is it on a dimmer? Either of these can cause this to happen.

Switch will be compatible with halogen lights and light might be led so switch and bulb must be compatible
