[SML] Moving light funkiness

[Phil Haney]

I don't have any moving lights, or experience with them.

But if they use a common line for one side of all the sensors (like
grounding the door switches to the body in a car), it sounds like
installing the covers disconnects that line from the CPU (or whatever
movers call their brain).
