Low voltage troubleshooting help

[n8dizzle0807]

I bought a 1975 house that has some low voltage(touch-plate) lighting circuits. I've replaced pushbutton switches for looks and been ok so far. I started replacing CFL bulbs with LEDs as I remolded. When a light fixture with 5 bulbs were swapped, the LEDs glowed dim when off. Voltage is 123v when on and 98v when off. The only thing I could think of is contacts close good and give full voltage, but dont make full open. Creating resistance and about 20v voltage drop. Not an electrician though. Any thoughts? I also removed switch, and touch wires together when it goes from 123 to 98v.

My thought is you will need to contact an electrician as forum rules prevent us from helping DIYers.
