I have some Philips LED halogen downlighter replacements. They are rated at 3W 
and produce a noticeable glow when "OFF". They are on a 2-way circuit and the 
stray capacitance of the wiring allows enough current for a faint glow.

I bought some of the LED replacements for Edison bulb incandescents, and
they have an afterglow that lasts for several minutes.  It is very much
dimmer than when they are turned on, but is there none the less.
