Will the fluorescent lamp blink / glow after turning off?

Hello! Unfortunately, the wiring in the apartment is made in such a way that the phase arrives at the lamp, and the circuit breaker breaks, zero (I don’t know about the leak - is it there or not) and there is no possibility to reconnect. As a result of which, I believe that the LED lamp, which uniformly barely noticeably glowed off, was out of order.

Actually, a question. If I install a fluorescent lamp, it will also blink or “smolder” in the off state, which is possibly due to a constructive effect? Or is it worth trying several lamps of different models - some will work fine, others not? Thank.

Hello. I highly recommend you repair the wiring! This is a radical measure, but it will not only solve your problem, but will help to avoid various unpleasant situations in the future (burnout of bulbs or even short circuits). If you still do not want to deal with this issue, then you can mount the fluorescent lamp with a special toggle switch (switch), which will completely break the electric circuit. In this case, there will be no “blinking” and “glow”.

It is worth trying other lamps - it may work. If anything, put an incandescent or halogen lamp. Such an inclusion option will not exactly affect their work.
But still, I advise you to find the opportunity to rectify the situation.

Good afternoon, Roman.
It is clear that the incandescent lamp does not respond to entangled zero / phase - it glows if a full current flows. You can safely replace it.
However, I was intrigued by your phrase "... the wiring in the apartment is made in such a way that the phase comes to the lamp ... and there is no possibility to reconnect."
I don’t understand what reason prevents phase and zero transfer, for example, in the house shield - this procedure will put all the wiring “in place”. Another way out is to open the junction box with a branch to the ill-fated lamp and transfer the wires there.
In the distribution box, the wires are probably connected by “twists” - upgrade the connection by applying the “Zero bus with the DIN rail insulator“ Rack ”.You can throw away the plastic elements, and turn the bus into a connector - each wire has its own wire.

Hello. I join the posts above and recommend a radical solution to the problem. Moreover, you have already been given a working scheme, the implementation of which will fix the problem. If you still do not have time to upgrade the wiring in the shield, I can advise a good solution, which will also eliminate the blinking of the lamp.
To do this, you need a resistor, it must be connected in parallel with the lamp. 2 kW resistor with a nominal resistance of 50 kOhm. I enclose visual photos of the implementation of such a connection (without and with a resistor). The resistor is in shrink film in order to comply with safety regulations (green and red wires).

  As for me, a very good decision if there is no desire or time to poke around in the wiring. But my question is: will such a circuit work with all lamps? I mean, the author has a question about a fluorescent lamp, and you have an example with photos for the housekeeper.
  Is there any difference or the effect will be the same for both types of lamps? The neighbor has a similar problem in the country, so I ask. All components are there to implement such a connection. But he just has a fluorescent lamp. Or in this case, is it better to implement a circuit with a complete break in the electric circuit on the lamp?

Hello. Please tell me why the led lamp 78 w bentong can burn out? The luminaires connected 29 pieces to a wire of 3 1.5 mm. Voltage 235V.
