    Answer this please. A Rubber sole shoe in hand touches 240v while bear foot I don't feel a thing. Reverse components and current flows and I get shocked. I.e. bare hand touch 240v wearing rubber soled shoes I get zapped Why?

    This same thing happened to me. I connected a 12 volt led to a 220v AC to 12V DC adapter and i connected the positive wire to it. When I touched the ground (Negative) wire, the led glowed

    My Philips hue bulbs do this. If I touch them they glow a little more. Even if I’m no where near the bulb, if I cough it glows a bit🤯

    It’s called leaking voltages

    It's that free space energy that government want to take away from us, so they put FreeSpaceEnergy filters to everything. Cheap chinese leds doesn't contain these expensive filters payed by out taxes.

    It seems that there are 140,000 Steves.

    Actually I have several of the normal screw in LED's that glow for a few seconds after I turn them off. You don't see that during the day only a night. I assume it is the capacitor draining off, or what ever coating is inside the globe.

    I love how the captions cut out in the middle of the video. Amazing.
