I had the same problem with my PDM25+. Even with the outputs switched off, there was enough leakage current to make my LEDs glow faintly. Incandescent bulbs weren't affected because the leakage current wasn't enough to illuminate them.


I solved it by installing bleed resistors in parallel with the LEDs on the output side. If I remember correctly, I used tiny 1/2 watt 10kΩ resistors, and that eliminated the ghosting completely.


It's always best to confirm the appropriate resistor value
