Hi Daniel,
It is completely normal.
Mine has the same behaviour; the led is as 'bright' independent of
the position of the switch (not including the brief moment just
after switching when it is fully on).
It says in the manual also to remove the battery while not in use
for extended time, so you might want to remove the battery if you
are planning not to use it for a few days, or a week.
My mic is stored with the battery inside for years now, and I hardly
have to replace it.

switched to the "off" position. I tried another battery but nothing
changed (it is still slightly bright all the time).

the light disappears completely for a short while (fraction of a
second) but then becomes dim again.
