We had this problem w/ dimmers and led bulbs, you need a new dimmer, not expensive (30 bux) and tell the contractor to do it

No, you probably have dimmers, and they aren't turned off all the way.

We have that with some LED lights on a dimmer switch. There's a cutout tab that I can pull to completely shut electricity, so it must be something with the switch. Maybe a more expensive / better dimmer would do it, but I haven't bothered and it hasn't been a problem for the 2-3 years that we've been living here.

You've likely got some bleed. Probably a bad switch or damage to the lines through arcing. They should come back out. Absolutely.

I don't know what is causing it, but definitely call and have them they send the electrical contractor back out.

We just moved back in after a major Reno/addition.
I have noticed that some of the recessed lights stay faintly glowing at night after we turn them off.
Most of the lights don't do this but a few definitely give off a pale light even when turned off. It is faint so not something that you would notice in the day time. Anyone know what is causing this and should I ask the builder to fix it?
