    Pretty sure its the integrated drivers that cause the delay with LEDs lighting up. Better than the case 5-10 years ago though, where we still needed external drivers to make them work - now you just run your line voltage straight to the sockets. Much easier on the electricians.

    That is a crappy switch placement, though. A little more planning would’ve fixed that. Nothing stopping you from getting a label maker though.

      And it’s often on purpose because the driver is smoothing out the mains input and/or supports dimmers. A tiny delay is worth it to have an LED that doesn’t flicker

      You really don’t want a bargain bin LED where the driver is just a half bridge rectifier and a resistor in series with the LED
