Is this light supposed to have a low glow when the light switch is turned off? First LED light and not on a dimmer. Thanks.


​Hi whateverrrrr,​​ Thanks for reaching out! A faint glow when the switch is off can happen with some LED fixtures, even if they’re not on a dimmer. Here’s why—and how to fix it: ​Why It’s Glowing​ ​Switch Type:​​ If you have a ​smart switch, timer, or illuminated switch​ (with a tiny LED indicator), these can leak small amounts of current, keeping the LED driver partially active. ​Standard toggle switches​ shouldn’t cause this unless faulty. ​Wiring Issues:​​ ​Reversed hot/neutral wires​ (common in older homes) can create residual voltage. ​Shared neutrals​ or proximity to other wires might induce stray current. ​Fixture Design:​​ Some integrated LEDs retain a tiny charge in their driver capacitors, causing a brief glow that fades. ​How to Fix It​ ✅ ​Test the switch first:​​ Swap to a basic, non-illuminated toggle switch to rule out current leakage. For smart/illuminated switches, a ​bypass capacitor​ (added by an electrician) can resolve this. ✅ ​Check Wiring:​​ Ensure the ​hot wire (black)​​ is connected to the switch, not the fixture’s neutral. An electrician can verify this. ✅ ​Add a Load Resistor:​​ A small resistor (installed by a pro) can absorb stray current. If the glow persists, contact Lowe’s or UT Brand Support—we’ll help troubleshoot or arrange a replacement if needed. ​Warm regards,​​ UT Brand Support at Lowe’s
