Re: Led lights

["Frank Mc Alinden" <fmcalind@xxxxxxx>]

Hi John
Only a guess but i suspect there is a snubber circuit across the
relay( capacitor + resistor) contact on your appliance module to quench the
spark made by an inductive load..
Im sure there are schematics out there ..would need to google....Just put a
meter acoss the contacts of an aussie app module and it reads 80k when off
so some small leakage current.
