Auroras & Light Bulbs?

[Jinx]

Our fluorescent light started glowing by itself last night. My wife and I know it was off, but there's a smidge of uncertainty if the on-button was slightly depressed (which can cause the bulb to half-illuminate.) However, the button would be hard to hit without knowing it...

Silly as this sounds, I brought some fluorescent bulbs outside last night, but no luck. Maybe the magnet storm's intensity lessened? Also, the bulbs were in a thin cellophane sleeve...maybe I'll try again tonight - unwrapped (the bulbs, not me, silly! )

Anyone have any experience with such phenomena? I know such bulbs can glow on their own under certain conditions...
