Full current is applied when motion is detected, and the small continuous
flow while it is 'waiting' is not enough to light an incandescant bulb.

But it *is* enough to light the much more efficient LEDs.

Also, LEDs don't have to heat up to produce visible light.

Thus they end up
being slightly 'on' while no motion is detected. Because of the design of
the AC power supply in the base of the LED that convert & filters the
current for the LED, often they will blink very fast instead of lighting up
very dimly.
