I have found that some times our CFL's will flash for about 10 minutes after switch off,and these are bright flashes. About every 30 seconds they will flash brightly,then after about 10 minutes it stop's.
I have no idea as to why they do this?.

Tinman:

Funny you mentioned this.  There was a comment on this video saying basically the same thing re: CFL's.

Weird for sure.

I also remember a valuable lesson i learned when installing a lighting fixture in my first house.  The light was controlled by a two-way switch set up. (2 switches, one at each end of the room.)  So, I stupidly just turned "off" the light switch before beginning my work.  It would have taken me like 3 minutes to switch off the breaker but...I was in a hurry, ha ha.

Anyway, the bottom line is that that black wire was still hot even though both of the switches were "off".  Did I test it with my meter?
No, I used my fingers and tested it while removing the wire nuts.  I still remember this lesson even though this happened some 30 years ago.
