Why do the LED lamps blink in the new building?

Hello,

I have converted to LED lamps in our new building. Now I had to notice that some blink, others shine very dimly, although the switch is OFF. Is there anything that can be done about it? Above all, is this normal in a [NEUBAU]?

Thank you very much in advance...

No, that is definitely not normal. I assume the things are incorrect or improperly connected.

No, that is definitely not normal. I guess the things are faulty, or incorrectly connected.

The lamps themselves are definitely connected correctly According to the electrician who did the installation here, this is normal, which I cannot imagine....

well, I have soldered several LEDs myself in my life, and they never blinked, except when the total supply voltage was too low, or I had a loose connection. I can't imagine that industrially manufactured LED lamps blink or shine weaker, unless that is exactly intended.

Hello,

I have noticed the problem with us as well, but only with "cheap" LEDs and on [Wechselschaltungen]. There is already an explanation - I believe it has something to do with some kind of standby currents.

I replaced the NoNames with Ph...ps (also very cheap on [der Bucht]) - and it worked.

Regards...

Hello,

I also noticed the problem here, but only with "cheap" LEDs and in two-way switches. There is already an explanation – I believe it has something to do with some kind of standby currents.

In two-way and push-button switch circuits, the lamp conductor runs parallel to the live conductor in the cable. This induces voltage in the lamp conductor (in the off state). This small voltage/power is enough to cause the LED to flicker or glow faintly. Brand-name bulbs have a component built in that prevents this.
