The way the lightning causes one of my path lights to illuminate for a moment. (OC)

I observed this during a recent thunderstorm and thought it was cool. I'm pretty sure the solar panel is providing just enough power for a few moments of light.

Okay wait – did you see the weird figure? You all saw that.

I don’t think OP added it. I slowed it down, and it was still there.

Right before the foreground light turned off, and for a second after. The tiny thing with glowing eyes. Frog sized, in the undergrowth. Very cute.

Assuming the light really was being powered by the flash from the lightning this is a pretty crazy demo of just how little power LEDs consume.

I think it’s lightning.
