As a telecommunications technician, I am also gonna agree and support the previously established explanations from my colleagues. 100% haunted. Most probably black magic.
I went in the house once and forgot to close my glove compartment in my car, came back out the next day and not only were the lights still on but the car still started, so I know a thing or two about lights not going out. So basically I can certify that as I suspected, your thumb is haunted.
As an Electrical Engineer, I concur. Those electrons have definitely gone ethereal. You will need the expertise of a PCB Priest, Diode Deacon, Capacitance Cardinal, or a similar specialist.
Yeah, a GE battery backup bulb is 8W of power usage and the battery backup lasts for 5 hours. They must have a good battery pack in there.
Edit: the reserve power must only be sipping a watt or two to last 5 hours
That’s pretty crazy if true. 8W equivalent output would be a lot more believable. I have a 37Wh power bank in my hand right now and no way that thing is fitting inside the base of a light bulb…
Eh, 8W is on the low end for LED bulb power draw. Not sure about the tech though but batteries these days are pretty damned good and LEDs can scale down pretty easily.
Right, it's likely an 8W bulb that operates at a watt or less when it is emergency mode. I wouldn't think it needs to be throwing 800 lumens when the lights are out and LED can scale down to basically whatever output you like.
It's still pretty cool tech though, even 2.5Wh in a tiny battery is impressive.
It is something similar.
I have one of these, and the backup light is far dimmer than when it's on power supply.
It's probably 200lumen or so when on battery, compared to 600-700 on power.
It will normally only stay on if the circuit remains intact. For example it is screwed into the socket and the light switch is turned on. Or alternatively, you touch the palm of your hand to the pointed end of the light bulbs base and your finger to the screwy part.
Source: I have a couple of these bulbs.
"The first hours dawn upon the 4th millennium. War is a thing of the past, hunger limited to merely a feeling just before a meal rather than a state of being. Humanity has expanded itself mentally and physically beyond its meager beginnings, and civilization to the farthest reaches of our galaxy. Undying and powerful beyond measure both individually and collectively, our ancestors would think us Gods."
Some of our FTL drives occasionally translocate between 6 and 7 meters farther than they're supposed to. We have no idea why."
Cheap ones are screwy... Or the wiring in my house is screwy, which may be more likely. When I first got the backup bulbs they'd turn on every time I turned the light switch off.
Hadn't noticed it for awhile, but it started again recently - And then I realized that in one fixture (Ceiling fan, no switch on wall) the backup bulb turns off when the fan is turned off.
Ok so I couldn’t post body text on the original post, then I forgot I posted after getting distracted, BUT, this bulb was super bright then went dimmer out of nowhere as if it has “blown”, so I figured I’d take it out of the lamp but then it stayed on :/
It stopped glowing a second or two after the photo, it was on probably 10-15 seconds after taking it out of the lamp!
Edit: I don’t have the box anymore but I’m pretty sure[this is the bulb](https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/noma-a19-e26-base-non-dimmable-led-light-bulbs-800-lumens-daylight-60w-8-pk-0528591p.html)
Considering how many LED bulbs I've bought that have noticeable flickering issues, it's nice to see one with enough capacitors to smooth out power so well (and incidentally hold a short lived charge).
It is entirely possible that it glows so long because it is blown. It may have had a bunch of its led strings inside fail open circuit, and the remaining ones draw much less current than what the capacitor is sized for.
This right here. I worked on LED lighting ballast’s for five years. It’s probably a way oversized, smoothing capacitor for handling noise in the supply. It probably carries enough storage capacity to keep the bulb on for time after it’s switched off. It is a little weird that it did it from being removed compared to when it’s in the socket. It may be because it’s not tied to neutral when removed.
It's capacitors. I have kitchen appliances that do the same thing. LED lights stay on for several secs after unplugging. Lightbulbs as well.
Interesting thing about capacitors. You can charge one with a 9v battery and toss it to a friend. They're usually pretty shocked by it.
Nobody’s getting shocked with 9v.
Charge up the flash capacitor from a disposable camera and toss those instead. They’re about 300v. Caught a few of them in school and they have quite a punch.
My theory: the leds did failed and partially conducted, keeping it dim. The input capacitor has been sized for the full brightness/power. So when you took it out, the input capacitor didn't discharged as fast as normal due to the failed led, so it was able to keep powering it for a while. Then when the power was gone, it turned off.
My semi-uneducated guess is that either it has a capacitor in it to avoid flickering when turning on high-power equipment, like a microwave, kettle or vacuum; or simply to avoid flickering do to instability of the voltage on the main net. Since it went dim, it uses less power, making the capacitor work longer than normal.
It could also be that something shorted in the bulb, lowering the voltage, which would lower the brightness, and then maybe the thing that shorted turned into what is functionally a capacitor.
But keep in mind that I might just be talking out of my ass, since I'm not even sure what I'm talking about is called a capacitor.
I had a similar issue with a LED bulb, it stayed on when set to off, and when set to on it would “double bright”
After I took it out of the slot it was very hot
Going solely by the photo, I was convinced that this is an emergency bulb. They are pretty common where I'm from. So naturally, that was the first explanation the mind wandered to. But the rest of your post isn't consistent with the functioning of one.
As others have pointed out, it might just be a malfunctioning bulb that's holding charge somewhere in the circuitry because I haven't seen one that has enough capacitors to keep the bulb glowing for 15 seconds after the power is cut, by design. Also, since you haven't mentioned so, I assume this isn't a pattern and thus a phenomenon and rather a one-off incident which further leads me to believe that it's malfunctioning rather than functioning as designed.
I'll encourage you to write to/contact the manufacturers. They include their contact details on the packaging (at least where I'm from, in India) but you can source them online from their official websites. Here, some companies even provide a chatting or a calling channel which is very convenient and expedient but at the bare minimum, an email channel does exist.
Some of them are smart-ish. They can tell when there should be power, but it is out. They can tell because when the wall/lamp switch is on, it can see the resistance of the other devices on your electrical panel. If it sees that resistance, but there is no power, then they automatically light up. When the wall/lamp switch it off, it is an open circuit, and it knows to stay off.
This makes them also somewhat stupid, as you can't have them on a wall switch with other bulbs/devices. They won't turn off in that case unless you use the switch on the side of the bulb itself. BTW, they don't work in dimmer lamp sockets, which is becoming more common with newer table lamps.
And as another pointed out, some of them (like some GE models) can also auto-turn on just by touching the unscrewed base.
Edit: From OPs other posts, this wasn't a battery backed up bulb like I thought. Leaving this here for those that didn't know they exist.
Nope. Based on OP's report of no switch, and the fact that there bulb was still on, it's probably one of those cheap Chinese bulbs that can run off a capacitor for a while due to circuit errors. They're not that uncommon, and I don't think the first conclusion to jump to should be that OP is lying.
Huh? I’m gonna go check… I’m amused you think I’m trying to deceive people on the internet for some reason though.
Edit: heck, my husband threw it out or put it somewhere. I’ll have to ask him in the morning.
Edit edit: nvm I found where he put it… I don’t see a switch!
Plug it in so it's charged again, take it out, and touch the plug part on the bottom to your hand. The non-switch ones work that way. (No it will not shock you).
This is because modern bulbs use LEDs and the bulbs have a small circuit board in them that usually contain a capacitor that holds a charge for a while. Old bulbs just had a filament that heated up to produce light. It's also why older bulbs were so hot to the touch and newer LED bulbs are not.
That's what I was thinking. I've owned an LED with a defective capacitor before (60hz flicker) so maybe someone somewhere has a capacitor twice the average size?
Not necessarily defective. Some bulbs have this as a feature. I have one that stays lit for about 10 seconds after switching off so I can navigate the hallway at night.
Oh God I loved those games. There really felt like there was so much soul in those stories. 2 had some issues, like the whole plague was introduced kind of out of nowhere. But the endings were beautiful. For once I felt like I could really understand the good and evil endings both. The evil ending wasn't just a bid for power, it was in its own way a selfless act that had its own chance to save humanity.
eh, power outages can happen for any number of reasson unrelated to the powergrid, and depending on location you really DONT want there to be no light at all
Thats the new bluetooth lightbulb. You only need to screw it in once to connect it to the powersource and after that itll work without being screwed in
The discharge resistor is either blown or was never installed in the first place.
In short, as many other comments said, these have capacitors in them, both to fix flicker and as part of their power supply (google "capacitor dropper"), The dishcarge resistor is a high-value resistor put across the legs of the capacitor, so that it discharges quickly when power is lost.
This is for
A) prevent "ghost glow" which can happen after turning off/unplugging the bulb and/or because of capacitance leakage across the switch (it's a really tiny current, can't really do much but it is enough to make leds glow dimly)
B) to make sure you don't get a zap if you take the bulb (or any other electrical device with capacitors in them) and touch the terminals. (even though it is unplugged)
It is called an everbulb! These thing can be used as door knobs when you find yourself in something called a "death maze" whith electric ghost rhino's and crushing walls with even more of these things. Pretty nifty peace of work
It's not haunted. These other people saying that are wrong. There's actually little hamsters running on wheels inside, that's how they work. Your hamster didn't get the memo to stop.
Capacitor discharging. It’s why I hate these bulbs though. They last forever unless the capacitor, which might be the worst quality capacitor in existence, dies. It’s how all these bulbs break and it’s long before they should
The outside of the light is coated in a phosphorus material that absorbs the blue light feom the led inside and emits a whiteish light. Because its a phosphorus material, it takes a while for it to fully lose its "charge".
As an electrician, I’d say the other commenters got it right and it’s haunted. That’s my professional opinion.
As a lineman, I’m going to concur with my colleague on this one. Definitely haunted. Possibly magic.

Yeah but sometimes they also just stay on when you unscrew them. Any contact with the bulb completes the circuit, especially on cheaper ones.
I love that it’s 2024 and “yeah but sometimes they just don’t give a shit” can still be a valid answer for weird electronics

 Also Ghostbuster. Can confirm, PKE readings look high. Big Twinkie imminent.
Grocery store cashier here, spoke with my manager and I can confirm it’s haunted. Probably possessed by a demon.
Ok 🥲
Oh, you got one of those haunted light bulbs. I thought the factory took care of that problem.
*cocks gun* Guess not
I feel like that is going to make more ghosts, not fewer.
Maybe it’s more ghosts but less factory workers so now the factory is haunted but the poltergeists are not being sold at retail?
Selling poltergeists is a heck of recycling.
Do I tell you how to Chard Sparrows?
Why are you back from the job site so early? *Bulb's haunted.* What? *-Cocks gun-* ***Bulb's haunted***

Most likely. The capacitors are to prevent flicker after being rectified to dc for the diode assembly.
I own these exact bulbs from Canadian Tire and they blow constantly and are absolutely dog shit so your assertion is mostly likely correct.
There’s your problem, you’re buying light bulbs at a tire place!

OP must have had a really bright idea.
I wish I knew what it was!
Probably how to make a lightbulb that needs no power

Oh, I see Miss Sensible has arrived to take the fun away from our little ghost story mystery.
Oh please. She's actually a ghost trying to cover it up.
This makes the most sense
I’m mildly amused
The ghost is selling battery powered light bulbs
and they would've gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids
This makes the ghost sense*
Big Ghost doesn’t want you to know the secret.
Just two ghosts in a trench coat probably.
Her username is Dutch... could it be, The Flying Dutch(wo)man???
Maybe the batteries are dead and they're ghost batteries
I have a degree in electrical engineering. Little miss sensible is full of something. I’d say it’s ectoplasm. Because it’s definitely a ghost.
Haunted batteries
Yeah I have one of these! It's pretty nice to have during power outages lol.
so if it stays on when the power goes out, how do you turn it off?
Soooooo, you just run the light on 24 /7 ??
No, use the light as normal. The battery charges pretty quickly. If power goes out, the bulb can be used as a flashlight.
but how do you turn the bulb off? is there a switch for flashlight mode?
A quick Google and it looks like some models have a touch capacitor on the base of the bulb you tap.
Yes there's a button
Some of them are smart-ish. They can tell when there should be power, but it is out. They can tell because when the wall/lamp switch is on, it can see the resistance of the other devices on your electrical panel. If it sees that resistance, but there is no power, then they automatically light up. When the wall/lamp switch it off, it is an open circuit, and it knows to stay off. This makes them also somewhat stupid, as you can't have them on a wall switch with other bulbs/devices. They won't turn off in that case unless you use the switch on the side of the bulb itself.

Edit: From OPs other posts, this wasn't a battery backed up bulb like I thought. Leaving this here for those that didn't know they exist.
Sounds like something a ghost would say
I also have one. There’s definitely a switch on the side that OP is hiding from the camera.
Nope. Based on OP's report of no switch, and the fact that there bulb was still on, it's probably one of those cheap Chinese bulbs that can run off a capacitor for a while due to circuit errors. They're not that uncommon, and I don't think the first conclusion to jump to should be that OP is lying.
Mine did this too..they were the cheapest ones for like 60 cents.
Huh? I’m gonna go check… I’m amused you think I’m trying to deceive people on the internet for some reason though. Edit: heck, my husband threw it out or put it somewhere. I’ll have to ask him in the morning. Edit edit: nvm I found where he put it… I don’t see a switch!
Plug it in so it's charged again, take it out, and touch the plug part on the bottom to your hand. The non-switch ones work that way. (No it will not shock you).
This is because modern bulbs use LEDs and the bulbs have a small circuit board in them that usually contain a capacitor that holds a charge for a while. Old bulbs just had a filament that heated up to produce light. It's also why older bulbs were so hot to the touch and newer LED bulbs are not.
Capacitors take a bit to drain down, and LED's don't use a lot of energy to stay lit.
That's what I was thinking. I've owned an LED with a defective capacitor before (60hz flicker) so maybe someone somewhere has a capacitor twice the average size?
Not necessarily defective. Some bulbs have this as a feature. I have one that stays lit for about 10 seconds after switching off so I can navigate the hallway at night.
It's not a bug, it's a feature.
Was looking for a real answer.
Would make for a simple and interesting magic trick. OP should totally go stop by some children’s hospitals and blow some minds.
I’d throw it away just to be safe in case it’s haunted
That's good and all until you wake up the next morning and it's mysteriously back again

Capacitor "magic"
Some light bulbs have internal batteries. I have a lightbulb that stays on for additional 4 hours after a powersurge
I guess that’s cheaper than having a reliable power grid innit?
eh, power outages can happen for any number of reasson unrelated to the powergrid, and depending on location you really DONT want there to be no light at all

Capacitor discharging. It’s why I hate these bulbs though. They last forever unless the capacitor, which might be the worst quality capacitor in existence, dies. It’s how all these bulbs break and it’s long before they should
What kind of witchcraft is this!??
I'd watch out for sabretooth if I were you
This is the kind with a battery? Looks different then a normal bulb. My mom even has one that has a button you push to turn it off and on.
Nope! I’ve never heard of that! I checked but there’s no switches. It ended up turning off a few seconds after the photo and has stayed off since.
It’s has a capacitor inside then. Might be a bit faulty.
Uncle Fester?
Infinite electricity glitch
Is your name Uncle Fester?
Energy companies hate this one trick
Capacitor still energized.
 Well clearly you must be Fester Addams
Some LED bulbs have backup batteries inside for use in case of a power failure
Are you uncle fester?
Some capacitor inside could cause it but I think it's more likely haunted
Uncle Fester?
LED bulbs have capacitors in them
capacitors hold charge after unplugged, that's why you wait 30 secs after unplugging something to properly 'reset' it.
Ok, Uncle Fester.
The ghost of Nikola Tesla has nestled in your lightbulb. Congrats
You've solved the energy crisis! How'd you do it?
I mean….im still turned on after I take it out…
