Thanks. I though it was wierd. New bulb. It has like a circle of little
dots of light which take a bit to shut down. In my mind LEDs should be the
fastest to shut down. I am deathly afraid of halogen because of fires and I
keep wondering if I got halogen instead.

Most of the LED bulbs ( the 40, 60,100 watt replacements) are made up
of a ring of LEDs that are about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch square. The long
4 foot tubes are made up of a string of similar small LEDs. They usually
have capacitors in them that hold a charge that takes a second or two to
fully discharge.

What gets me is the LED tubes that I have. Some come on as soon as the
switch is turned on and some take about 2 seconds to come on.

LED & hlogen look very different, there's no mistaking them.

** Well, that is a new phobia to me.

Wot is the fire issue with halogen light bulbs?

None the industry knows of.

It's the "ceiling heater" lamps that have/had the issue. The floor
lamps with 200 or 300w bulbs in upward-facing dish reflectors. The fire
hazard was from curtains getting blown on top of the lamps & catching fire.

I thought this was fairly well known.

Mine do that too. The delay is perceptible and different from the tube fluorescent in the same room.
