KirkV Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Ok so I wake up this morning at 5:30 from the wife saying, what the heQQ is going on? I thought she was losing it, and aked her what she was talking about. She said my lamp on my side of the bed was flashing on and off by itself and she woke up thinking it was lightning. Sure enough about 30 seconds later the bulb flashes twice, I checked the 3 position switch and it was in the off position. So I unscrewed the bulb and laid back down, shortly after that I have a cup of coffee in my hand because I can't get back to sleep! Guess it is a trip to the hardware store for a new switch today LOL. What a start to the morning. Kirk:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 As long as it doesn't flash when it unplugged, I think you'll be ok... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJL Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Sounds to me like there was a loose bulb or wire, and you had the bed shaking a little too much....................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 The volume on my DVD player turns up by itself. You can see the knob move and the volume meter pops up on the screen. It's happened quite a few times. Think Jim might have the answer to your problem though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkinslinger Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 We had a touch lamp that would go on and off by itself til I figured out what it was that was causing this. We would turn the lights on to go out for the evening and come back and the light is off??? Spooked us a few times then I realized that the lamp was on the same circuit as the blower on our propane free standing heater. The small amout of surge when the blower would cycle on/off would be enough to turn the lamp on/off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
