The light might come on and stay on..

I want to use these on small under-counter F-tubes (20wattish), so there shouldn't be a problem.

I don't recall anything about the stand-by load. But, it's easy to check.
If the box gets warm while in standby, plug in the Kil-A-Watt..
Followed by returning it to China!
