    I got power back early this morning but all my devices kept beeping and the lights were going from bright to dim back to bright all in concert.

    Is anyone experiencing this as well?

      Brownout. Can damage stuff so best to unplug things if it’s still happening.

        If my neighbours aren’t experiencing what I am can it still be a brownout or some other problem?

          Depends on how much juice you’re using compared to them. Try shutting off the hungry beasts like fridges / freezers / aircon and see if it persists

            I’ll turn off the mains first and leave it for a bit in the hopes that it stablisies, I think I have most of my stuff off at the moment except the fridge and airfyer on standby.

      My didn’t go out for long, but it came back for a few minutes with low voltage for a while and cut in and out a couple of times, which sounds like what is happening to you. I did have issues with the air conditioners and dishwasher - I think they tried to start up when there was not enough power and got stuck, once I cut the power and turned them back on they were fine.

        My portable air con was going berserk as well when everything came back and woke me up s I believe it’s effecting everything at my place, not just the lights.

        I’ll try turning off the mains when i get back home and leave it for a bit.

        I only turned it off for a few seconds and then turned it back on this morning before I left for work.

        Maybe I didn’t leave it off for long enough the first time I tried it.
