Default Led on but switch off

That's true about the relays, but all modules will pass a small current
through the load when "off". This allows the "local control" feature,
and can cause trouble with small or inconsistent loads.

On a relayed system the ghost current does NOT run through the load
if properly wired.


Where would it go, and what good would it do? It's there to sense the
operation of the load's switch.
