I just replaced a dead incandescent bulb in my basement with an LED bulb, and on my way out of the room I flicked off the power switch and the bulb started a constant stable strobe, rather than powering off.

My research says that this is usually caused by a switch that has electronic components that require constant power. This switch is as old as the house, no bells and/or whistles.

My best guess is that, since this is the same room where my electrical panel is, and that the wire from the switch to the light runs along with one of the main conduits, which is inducing a current? does that sound right?

is this something I need to worry about? I know it'll kill my cheap led bulb to leave it
