cfl flickering with lamp turned off
hi laktronics
the resistor for current limiting the neon indicator is about 100~150k. it, at most, sinks about 20mA. this "leakage current" causes this problem.
i do not know what is the input impedance of CFL. if it is much lower than 330k, it doesn't work. in fact i tested it with a 100K resistor ( i put it in parallel with CFL ) but it could not solve the problem.
lower resistors will sink more current in on state of swith, so they should be high wattage.
so i think putting a resistor paralleled with CFL cannot solve the problem.
thanks
