Hi Guys,
 
I have couple CA600 switches... and today i noticed that on of the halogen bulbs is really warm to tuch ... ( with light off )
so it looks like CA600 is powering that bulb constantly and not enough for it to light up ... is that normal ?
 
thx
 
Ndx,

You are correct. It is common for a very small amount of current to flow through the switch, which is why those are not recommended for low power consumption bulbs (LED, CFL.) I've never heard of heat issues like that though..
