Current leakage with latest INSTEON devices?

It used to be with the 2457 dimmable switch, when you have LED lights (e.g. string of Christmas lights) plugged in and you turned the switch off, a small amount of current leaked through such that the lights were still dimly lit.  But if I used a 2635 on/off switch, the lights would go completely out.  Anyone know if that is true of the latest revs for the dimmable switches?

It's true that it can still happen depending on the lights. The 2457d2 requires a minimal amount of load (5w I believe) so if your lights do not meet that level then yes it'll happen

I went one step further and nested the On/Off Module with a Dimmer Module.  Sure, it slows the Query all command a little and its an added expense, but I still get dimmability of my LED string lights and a completely off state.
