**Summary:** I noticed an odd white shape flickering in front of a building. It flickered at the same rate as the light effect, and only appeared at night. This occurred near a wall-mounted stone lamp.

**UPDATE:** I suspect this flickering is related to doors in the vicinity of the stone lamp… It seems to occur when villagers are using the building’s door.

**Steps to reproduce:**

1. Build _[this](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/r375-roof-placement-over-ladder-holes-scaffolding-issue/12904)_ building
2. Add a wall-mounted stone light
3. Wait for darkness

**Results:**  
This was very difficult to screenshot - only one of my 12 or so pics captured it.

_In this pic, all you can see are two thin white stripes glowing near the farthest building_

Here’s an **updated** gif showing the flickering shapes:

I suspect that it’s due to the door opening, as you can see it clearly when somebody passes through the door:

There’s also a possibility it’s not related to doors but rather to hearthlings within its light radius:

_(The one on the ladder)_

**Notes:** This is a very poor depiction of what you see. I was seeing a cluster of voxels, wall blocks and ladders/scaffolding floating near the lamp.

There may be an association with the building being bugged - I’ll post more on that soon and link.

is there perhaps a light source _inside_ the building?

if so it could just be light “spilling” out from the open doorway

Nope!

I gave up on the building and put some beds indoors, but the only light source is the stone lamp above the door (and the floor lantern a few blocks in front and to the side)

I’ve got a hunch that it’s that door’s fault, though…
