Blue LED Doom!!
I have an array of LEDS in front of me. And upon holding either of the legs, and touching the other leg to ground, the led lights up.

Should this occur?

Its just that I have used LEDS in multiple applications and never noticed.

Plus I watched a video the other day of a "Chi Master", and the team that were conducting tests were amazed that he could light an LED using his hands (And a ground).

For as long as I keep the other leg connected to ground.

I have tried multiple grounds throughout the house. (Xbox 360 chassis, switch plate screw (Light and socket), and a screw on the backside of my dvd player)

Wow!! If I lift my feet off the floor, the LED appears to dim, then increase in intensity when I place my feet back down.

Sounds like you may be close to a transmitting tower of some kind though there is also the possiblity of solar activity causing such.

 Quoting: wanny1


This happened recently when my boyfriend had
his flashlight on his lap. He had been playing
with it as it is an innovative, fun flashlight,

[link to www.bushnell.com]

but he had turned it off and we were watching
a movie. All of a sudden the light came on.
He was startled by this. He turned it off as
we did not spent a huge amount of time trying
to figure out what had happened. I did ask him
if he had accidentally turned it on. No, he said.
We were watching the movie again and the light
turned it self on and was strobing. The flashlight
does have a strobing function but again, it
startled us both and he insisted he had not
touched it, although it was laying in his lap.
He put it on the table beside the couch after
that.

Let me know if you find any other info that
would explain why this could have happened.
My boyfriend's legs were not on the ground.
We have a recliner couch and his legs were
up.

Thanks

Thats cool.
Acquire and LED to test on him :)

I have experienced the "SLI phenomenon" far too many times throughout my life to consider these oddities, a coincidence.

Thanks for that.
Thats the "Chi Master" I was referring to.
It inspired me to try it myself. The researchers seem baffled that such a thing should occur.
Just uploading a video now.

Re: Blue LED Doom!!
probably what's going on is there is a charge on your house ground

one of your appliances (stove or dishwasher more than likely) isn't wired right and is sending a charge down the ground wire

just a guess but I bet that's what's going on

The ground is floating. as somebody else mentioned, something is passing residual current to the ground network.

leds can run as low as 1VDC. (depends on type) at 60 Hz AC your eye can not discern it is actually flashing.

Re: Blue LED Doom!!
May sound stupid/weird but one time I was working at Radioshack and a customer brought in a cell phone that they had messed up, the screen was dead. My boss was trying to play a prank on me and told me to check out this picture on it, knowing the screen was dead. I took the phone from him and about 2-3 seconds after I was holding it the screen turned on and I was like, hey there's no picture here. I gave him the phone back after saying that and he was like "WTF!" there shouldn't be a picture on the screen because the screen's broken. When I hand it back to him and he's messing with it, going through the menu's the screen turns off. I was like, wow wtf just happened.

Re: Blue LED Doom!!
you understand how a diode only lets electricity flow in one direction OP? so it's pretty unlikely that it lights up no matter which way you hold it. maybe if it lit up one way but not the other way...
