LED still shines when MOSFET is off


I have the below circuit and when I turn off the MOSFET (Logic 0 at gate vg) the LEDs (LED1 and LED2) still shine with a small intensity. When I replace the LED with an incandescent lamp (car lamp) the lamp does not shine at all. Does anyone know why?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
