When you say takes forever to turn off, do you mean a glow that you can mainly see in the dark? Or is it full on?
I had a permanent glow with on certain GU10 brands. It's almost like it holds a charge as though there's a load of capacitors in there... It wasn't an issue for us as the ones that glowed were put in the hall, and actually turned out to be useful when getting up in the night to use the toilet. But I never tested whether it was still consuming any electric. I've yet to come across that with any other fitting on bulb
I mean its dim when it comes on rather than bright and when you turn it off takes like 10 seconds to actually turn off.

I am not having much luck with LED dimmables. Some MK dimmers it seems to me lack resistance to operate properly with low wattage bulbs. Drop in an old bulb all good in every part of circuit. Take all bulbs to low-W and flickers intermittently or like crazy depending on dimmer settings.
edit for clarity this is a new dimmer advertised for LEDs and the bulbs are within the stated spec, well in the manufacturer's tabulated power requirements etc.

Ah yes my bulbs in the lounge are supposed to be dimmable but you turn them down and they just hum

For the bulbs that glow constantly, are they fed from dimmers or standard switches?
