Default New ceiling light glows dimly

In article .com, wrote:

There are three wires in the ceiling box. They are white, black and
green (solid strand). The ground/green wire has a stranded wire
coming off it to make ground connections a little easier to make with
the light/fan. The fan (before I removed it) was controlled by a
switch on the wall. The fan also had a pull chain. There is only one
switch on the wall for the light/fan.
To make it simple I removed the fan and light kit, replacing it with
just a ceiling light. The plan was to control this new light from the
switch on the wall.

OK.... now that you've removed the fan & light kit, and replaced it with a
simple ceiling light -- does *that* light glow dimly too, or does it behave
normally?
