About five years ago I built a curio cabinet for my wife with two

The detection has to be pretty sensitive so disruptions in the supply
easily trip them. *I'm not a fan myself ans we don't have any but
there's nothing wrong with them other than the occasional false trip.

I'm going to assume it was power interruptions or surge, and keep an
eye on it for a while. We live in a rural area where brief
occurrences happen now and then. The switch really doesn't get used
much unless we are looking at something in the display cabinet.

Thanks to all.
