Hello again,

I have an ApplianceLinc controlling some LED strips that light up my entertainment center. However, when I switch the ApplianceLinc off, the LEDs blink randomly. I am assuming this is because they are such low voltage some electricity "escapes". Is there a filter or something of the like I can put between the ApplianceLinc and the LEDs to stop this?

 

Thanks!

Some folks add a wall wart, some add a small night light. The ApplianceLinc sense circuit bleeds enough current to cause some LEDs to have a small glow when Off or blink.

Ah! Didn't even think about that! Just add something else to draw the power... Perfect! Thanks!

Small incandescent night light bulb also works.

Some if technically inclined. Have added a resistor on the load to calm down the glow.

Perhaps you can use the switched outlets on the back of your receiver? They shut down 100% when off, assuming you have a receiver, and you always have it on when using the system. Otherwise a wall wart or resistor. If you have a strand of dead christmas light with the pass through plug, that works well. You cut the wire and solder in a resistor and then plug it in. Since it has a pass through plug it doesn't require any other plug multipliers to still plug in your lights.
