That’s the question. When cooking and then pouring the water into the sink, for 10 seconds the lights on the counter turn on. These lights are usually broken and refuse to turn on manually. The lights are a strip of little LED bulbs glued on the cupboard .

i have a theory but i am not an electrician

EDIT : case solved by GIGACHAD (that’s his nickname)

    I’m gonna guess the steam is causing a broken circuit connection in the led strip to briefly connect. This strips often have a thin wire running the full length of the strip and that can break when the strip is bent. If the steam is heating the strip it could be causing the wire to briefly expand, closing the small break and turning on the lights.
