Why Does My Lutron Caseta Switch Have a Dim Glow When Lights Are Off

Smart Switches • Lutron Caseta Dimmer

LED lights connected to a Lutron Caseta dimmer glow faintly or flicker when the switch is turned fully off. The ghost light is visible in dark rooms and is more pronounced with certain LED bulb brands. This happens because the Caseta dimmer draws a tiny trickle current to power its wireless radio and status LED, and that current passes through the LED bulbs rather than returning via the neutral, causing a dim glow.
