Came home tonight to find my CF bulb on my exterior door light
flickering and barely glowing. Assumed the new bulb was bad till I got
inside to turn off the switch and found it already off.

I guess I will have to check the voltage at that outlet. How wierd.

Its hard to reach lamp is over steps

Anyone else have this happen?

Is it on a dimmer that is leaking current? Some two wire dimmers
(like old X10) require a small voltage flow through the filiment at
all times. X10 dimmers with a neutral connection dont have this
problem. Otherwise some other wire is supplying current to the lamp
socket after the switch.
