OK here's one. I replaced two overhead flood bulbs with dimmable LEDs, the other two on the circuit are incandescent bulbs. The circuit is on a dimmer switch, standard voltage reducing slider switch with an off/on button. The other night we were sitting outside, and I turned the dimmer down to it's lowest position, but did not switch off the circuit. Every now and then the LED bulbs would blink, but the incandescents stayed dark. Mrs. Lak and my daughter swear it's Mrs. Lak's mum communicating from beyond the grave, because they can be woo-headed idiots when they're drinking (which they were).

Can an LED act sort of like a capacitor? There's likely a very small voltage on the circuit, even with the dimmer slider in it's lowest position. Or perhaps dimmable LEDs have a capacitor built in? Enough charge builds up and it blinks.

That's my guess, I'm not buying the communications from the Great Beyond thing.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I think everyone has experienced this at one point or other, but it seems to happen to me with alarming regularity. As you walk under a street light it turns off, and then turns back on once you are down the road a little bit. I've always assumed it is the CIA chip implanted in my head interfering with the lamp in some way.

I cut my chip out with a knife. Took some doing, was three inches deep into my skull and then some rooting around to find it.

That actually sounds plausible in your case.

I think I might try some tin foil over my head. I hear it reduces alien thought invasion, so might have some effect on CIA technology.

Gin is my protection from both alien thought probes and CIA attempts at telepathic control. I may need to increase the dosage...

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy. That's my philosophy.

a real man. Always carry a Bowie knife in case a chip gets embedded.
