I would have thought it would be okay as the AWM2 is an appliance
switch and should be able to function okay with small and large (16A)
loads. I have 4 of them but they're connected to main halogen and
tungsten bulbs.

Now that's odd. Doesn't it stop flashing after some time? If so it's
a capacitance leakage problem but that would be weird as I don't
think the AWM2 has the capacity to store that much energy. So the
question is, why is the AWM2 allowing power to leak to the bulb? Are
you 100% sure you wired it up correctly? What happens if you replace
the bulbs with 25w tungsten bulbs?
