Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
This is just for fun, if you like puzzles - I assume most readers won’t be interested. I don’t think there is an easy solution, but I’m fine with it as is now that I understand.
We like having our outside lights on at night, and we’ve used aftermarket light controls/photocells (pic below) to automatically turn them on at dusk and off at dawn.
Our new house has a light outside the garage with two bulbs (pic below). So I went to HD and bought two light controls and put them between the bulb and the light socket as always.
Last night at dusk, DW went to check and said garage light is on (light control working) but one bulb is burned out. I was pretty sure both bulbs were good so I went out to check, sure enough only one bulb was lit.
Do you see what’s going on?

- I took the globe off and both bulbs lit up
- I put the globe back on, left bulb went out.
- Took globe off, both bulbs lit, and I changed the aim direction of both light controls.
- Put globe back on, right bulb went out.
- With globe off, both bulbs lit.
- With globe on, only one bulb lit BUT could be either one
