Had my garage door go out me last week, long story short got a new motor under warranty and got her put back up today...the strangest thing, notice just before I went to bed, looking through the window the door openers light was glowing (not on, just not completely out, not dark) ...turned it on, nice bright light, turned it off, still kinda glows...I replaced the light with two of them 60 watt LED's they are selling at Walmart. So I am wondering if the opener has some power still leaking into one of the sockets after it's turned off or some thing to do with the LED's. Made me a little nervous, knew I wouldn't be able to sleep thinking about this, so for now just killed the breaker, every thing is dark now, no glow. Since I didn't feel like playing with it at 10 pm almost bed time...lol...any body experience anything like this before, this is a new one on me. Guess the easy fix is to go back to normal bulbs, but still if there is an electrical leak..problem needs to be fix shouldn't it, or do all light fixtures have some leaking, not an electrician so don't know ...how would you even test for some thing like that....or should I just ignore it, and be happy I have a new night light feature...lol
