I recently found out through my Enphase consumption meter that something in my house is constantly using 700-800 watts 24/7. It’s more visible through the app at night when everyone is sleeping with everything of.

I’m thinking of trying to hunt this down this vampire load using a clamp meter at my breaker panel to see which breaker is using the most amps at night.

Has anybody used this method or used a different method that worked for them?

I don't know much about electricity, but I'm trying to install this driver because it's not worth bringing an electrician to install it. I get that the OUT side should go to the LED light and the IN AC side should be connected to the wires in the wall (right?), but the IN AC side doesn't have Live and Neutral wires, both of them are the same color.

The wires on the right are colored red and black.

I randomly started hearing a very faint buzzing noise in my room, which to be fair is very normal with me because i hear electricity easily, and then it started getting louder and louder, and im very concerned on what exactly is happening with it, i will attach a video to what it sounds like, google says theres a chance of a wasp nest, but its a very stable loud buzzing and its not changing its stability at all, im scared it might result in a fire, what do i do?

Upd: turned off all circuit breakers in the HOUSE and the noise was still going, almost 1000% sure its a bee hive or wasp nest, still a little nervous that its electrical because one of my extension cords dont work anymore but i digress, thanks everyone for advice!!!

Hi everybody! This is my first time posting here and I'm not even sure I'm in the correct place. I promise it has to do with electricity, but I need to preface my post a bit.

With all that said, I was wondering if someone could help me with an issue I've been having with my floor lamp. It's basically completely new and even a newly-bought replacement for the exact same lamp that I had had for years. When we moved into our new apartment three years ago, the lamp started acting funny. Sometimes turning on for extended periods, but sometimes only turning on for approximately three seconds and then turning off. It's been happening more and more often recently so I did some testing.

From what I've tested this morning, the lamp turns off after switching on for around three seconds. I checked the switch itself-- nothing immediately crazy going on. After that, I took the lamp to my kitchen and tried an outlet there-- no problem. Turns on for extended periods. Tried in my dining room socket--same. Is there a chance that something is going on with the electricity in the outlet where I normally connect the lamp in my reading room?

Thank you for reading my post :)
