Weird light

[Oldtimer]

This may be a strange question but here goes.
I moved my shack into my sun room on the back of the house.
I noticed last night when I key up the motion sensor light outside comes on.
I waited till it went off and keyed up again and sure enough it came back on.
It does it when I have my amp on.
Any thoughts about this?

Simple,
RF is getting into the motion sensor.
Not really weird at all.
What type of radio and amp you have?
A lot of motion sensors are made cheap and are not that resistant to RF.

It is normal. In early 90's I was ejecting videotapes, switching on alarm systems etc.
What you can do is to install circuit breaker and switch off the lamps when you transmit.
That is what I did with mine.

Leave the amplifier off.

A local friend of mine used to get in his mobile and turn on his ~800 watt linear and key up while driving down a certain residential street.
It kicked on all of the lawn sprinkler systems in a row.
Garage doors - too.
We though it was pretty funny...
