My bedroom ceiling light ,which is controlled by three wall switches,is a Philips 100 Watt Low Energy type .The box calls it "Genie" .It's the kind that has a bulky part just above the bayonet fitting and looks like four flourescent tubes in "U" shapes . After I went to bed last night I knocked over a cup of tea and ,using the wall switch above my bed switched on the light .After cleaning up the spillage I switched the light off and then saw what I thought was a lash of lightning but when I looked up I realised it was the ceiling light flashing .....about once every three seconds or so .I then switched the light on again but put it off using one of the other wall switches .Again the light flashed but at a lower intensity. It stopped after about a half minute or so.
Anyone else experienced this .Do thses lamps hold energy after switchoff that needs to be dissapated ?. I'm very curious as to why this happened .
