I don't know anything about the voltage bleed. What I was trying to express before is some lamps have a min wattage draw and if other lamps are drawing more in a parallel run the electricity may pass right by the lower drawing lamps because the energy draw is greater at another source. Can you temp it out in a series circuit? This would confirm what I am trying to explain.

Oh I see what you mean. I can sure try that.

The odd part is when I test just the one bulb. I put 12V to the low side of the bulb and the high side tests at 0. If I put voltage to the high side, I get between 8V and 10V on the low side...which should have nothing and that means voltage is bleeding from the high side to the low side internally in the LED bulb. I found and tested an incandescent bulb and no such bleed exists.
