Battery wyze cam3 flashes burst of light but doesn't record

Curious what you did, swap out the bulbs? Was the switch on and one bulb was dead and the other was flashing, or switch was off and surge from dehumidifier was triggering LED bulb etc?

Just tell the wife the crawlspace is your escape from her :rofl:

Hey hey now, that bulb identifies as they/them.

Sorry, not in my world. :laughing:

It’s the “man cave” part of the renovation? Go down there and listen to some Beastie Boys.[1]

Sorry for late reply. As of 829 still no burst of light. (Freakin dehumidifier pump still on the fritz tho).

When I switched the lights on they all came on. I replaced two regular bulbs will LED. Just for the ef of it. The light bulbs were in there a little loose. Maybe that was it. But the switch was definitely off and all the lights came on when I switched it on.

Thanks again everyone. For the input and jokes. Heck of a forum.

I do joke that ima put a tv down there. I at least bring my phone down there with me now. I lost track of time one time and she evidently was yelling for me and I couldn’t hear her. She thought I was dead (telling that she thought that but did nothing. She just went on with her afternoon). So now I bring the phone with me so she can check up on me.

Very interesting, you 100% sure that one that was flashing wasn’t LED (some are glass and look close to regular bulbs, but the base is often different, typically plastic.

I’d be a tad concerned that something powerful enough to illuminate an incandescent bulb is at play. Who knows, maybe that pump that isn’t working now is wired wrong, could be more than coincidence (the LED bulb would now be blocking that mis-wired current from passing). I’m wondering if the hot and neutral on the pump are backwards or something, but with many kinds of AC motors that would actually make them run backwards (and thus it wouldn’t pump).

I’d be curious to see if you put the old bulb back in if the pump starts working again. Then if you manually actuate the pump (assuming it has a float switch in it) if the bulb flashes every time it comes on…

And/or started the life insurance claim process :rofl:

I will look when I get home from work. Maybe they were led and I didn’t realize it. It just looked different than the led bulb I replaced it with so I assumed it wasn’t led
