Electric shock off moth trap.

Not a risk I had ever been aware of until this morning. I unplugged the MV trap from the mains supply rather than switching the lamp off first and got a substantial jolt when I touched the plug terminals. I presume this was from the storage capacitor in the choke. Catch quite run of the mill but thought it reporting this risk.

    Yes, you can be a bit of a buzz from the plug immediately after switching off. I tend to drop the plug on the ground so any charge goes to earth.
