The lights suddenly went VERY dim, then VERY bright (half normal, then 50% above normal I estimate). This turned off/reset/crashed all our computers, reset some clocks, and crashed an ethernet switch and a router. It also tripped a residual current device. After this power issue, out cable internet was down for about an hour, which Telstraclear said was due to a power outage to their equipment. Anyone know what happened?	george12 (7)
