TikToker Discovers Kitchen Light In New Home That Won't Turn Off Isn't A Light Fixture At All

TikToker @mojojojokes was peeved after she couldn't figure out how to turn off the overhead light in her new home's kitchen—before she made a hilarious discovery.

Anyone who has ever moved into a previously-lived-in home can attest to the fact that every home is a little bit different and that some might even have some surprising features. From secret rooms and closets to fun, pull-out kitchen cabinets, you never know what you're going to get.

That was the exact experience TikToker @mojojojokes had after moving into her new rental home. While in the kitchen in the middle of the day, she kept trying to turn the kitchen overhead light off and found herself unable to do so.


After running some errands and arriving back home after nightfall, the TikToker and her partner were surprised to find the light off.

She reflected:

"All day yesterday, we couldn't figure out how to turn this light off."
"So we left to run errands, and when we came back, the light was off."
"We were like, 'What the f**k? Is it on a timer?' But that makes no sense. Why would the timer go off at night?'

But then the TikToker discovered the truth about the light, which was not run on electricity at all.

"It would if it's the sun!"
"That's a f**king skylight, b***h!"
"You see that? 100 percent, natural, organic, solar power."

The TikToker further proved her point by going outside and pointing out the dome that was on her roof, which contained what is called a solar tube, created by Solatube International.

Instead of a traditional skylight cut into the ceiling, a tube is fed through the interior of the home to point light to a particular area that might be lacking natural sunlight, and with the use of refractory metal and a clear dome on top, the sunlight is able to pass through and refract into the selected space.

The TikToker was clearly very impressed with her discovery and the previous owner's commitment to the home.

"I got super lucky, because this house is old, but the owner took care of all of the things that give it its charm!"

While some TikTokers knew exactly what their fellow TikToker was about to discover when she told her story, others were just as perplexed and amazed by what awaited her in her new rental home.

Because brand-new homes are such a popular concept these days, it's easy to forget the treasures that may be hidden in a previously-lived-in home!

Dem Rep. Hilariously Trolls Trump Official For Having No Idea How Solar Power Works In Viral Clip

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum was trolled by California Democratic Representative Jared Huffman after he, testifying before the House Natural Resources Committee, seemed to think solar panels are unreliable because they don't work when the sun goes down.

The sun produces heat and light through solar, or electromagnetic, radiation. Solar energy technologies capture that radiation and convert it into usable power. The two primary forms of solar technology are photovoltaics (PV) and concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP).
