I just got zapped for the first time unplugging this AC/DC wall adapter.
I disconnected from the wall and got zapped. It seems to keep a charge for 5 seconds, i.e. the connected LED circuit keeps going. Which leads me to believe that there's a capacitor in there? Can this be? Is it normal to get zapped when unplugging such a thing or is that just due to it being a cheap ass device?
