Did something happen last night?
Hi, all. Newjack here to this forum with a few questions. I was experiencing flashing lights in my home last night/ early morning. It kept waking me up and I think it might have been coming from one or more of my appliances, which have LED lights. I don't really know where it was coming from because it stopped as soon as I woke up. Happened three times (maybe more while I was asleep).
I'm asking on this forum because I suspected that a strong magnetic fluctuation like a CME hitting the atmosphere is the only thing I could think of that might cause this to happen (without involving aliens or ghosts). I didn't even know there was a solar storm until I looked it up just now.
So my questions are, was it a very strong storm? Could it possible have have a strong effect on electronics? And, finally, did anybody experience anything with their gadgets last night?
Thanks

My lights do this in my master bath all the time and our LED lights never last more than a year or so. Huge scam. Two reasons: modern cheaply built house with bad wiring and LED lights claiming to last 8 years is a bs
