Green light?

[Banty]

A neighborhood house has a small, bright (LED??) green light emanating from a side deck of it nightly. What is this? Motion sensor? Camera?

I would be interested to know when this appeared in relation to March 17.

Now I want too know if the OP is colored blind.

Many GFI outlets have a green LED to indicate the outlet is live and has not tripped. When I have the cover on my outdoor outlet flipped up the LED, viewed on-axis, is quite bright even in daytime. Maybe the neighbor has an outlet that should be covered. Motion sensors usually have a red lamp that comes on when, well, motion is sensed.

Could be a GFI as prev mentioned. Could be a flat panel LCD night light. Could be a detector to see if his wife is stepping out on him. Could be a radioactive glow from too much work at the nuke plant.

Best bet. Go return the rake you borrowed last fall and while your doing so, ask him.

I have a neighbor 1/2 mile away who appeared to have the same thing. When I went to check it out, I found a porch light with decorative glass panels. The one panel was acting as a prism sending green light in my direction. When at the house, it looked like a perfectly normal porch light. From my house 1/2 mile away, I could walk back and forth

50 feet and see it change from green to purple. This was all around Christmas time, so I started off thinking it was a decoration.

Why don't you walk over and see? Or, heres a novel concept...... You could ask.

They're several houses down - don't know them. It'd be weird "hey what's that green light".

I think the GCFI indicator LED is probably the answer. The side of their house pretty much points directly to my front door (curve in the street). One night I noticed a bright green light, that's all.

Cheers, Banty

Thinking gets me in trouble. Maybe, the one night green light was a party favor.

Of course, AREA 51 comes to mind.

I can't SEE a GFCI green LED several house down from me :-))
