• How does he safely turn the light on?

    Also: motion sensing automated lights are stupid cheap. And I sincerely hope poorly made, because the one in our utility room comes on at random - I can see the light sometimes come on under the door when I’m in the basement.

      I guess he has double switch installed, some houses have multiple switches for the same set of lights especially along stairs or long corridors.

      • Ah. So he could just have the light on until he got to the top, then turn it off.

        He’s just playing a game, where if he makes a mistake - slips down the stairs, trips on something - he loses.

        Even then, the deal was for 10 seconds after switching the light off, there is no mention of any grace period to switch it back on. As soon as he opens the door and reaches for the switch in the dark, he’s done for.

          I understand that light from behind the door spills into the room enough for it not to be darkness, so for as long as the door is open he’s safe

      • My cat brutally hunts and murders any moths in the house. He goes absolutely apeshit when he sees one. Consequently, we are about as moth-free a house as could be; and I’m not sure what they’d live on in the utility room. There are no windows and it’s underground.

        Anyway, it could be, I suppose. More likely ghosts, though.
