Should I be worried about this?

video: https://imgur.com/a/ULlNdfX I'm installing a new ceiling light and when I removed the old one the house wiring had blue, black, and green/yellow. Tested everything with a voltage detector and the blue was neutral, black was live, and yellow/green which I assumed would be ground was also showing power. The lights wires were white, black, and bare copper for ground. I hooked up the black to black, white to the blue, and bare copper to green/yellow. Everything works and the light turns on without tripping anything. But for whatever reason its triggering the probe as shown in the video. Is this something I should be worried about? Should I just keep the ground unhooked from the green/yellow and use the grounding screw on the mount? Any help would be appreciated. submitted by /u/Motor-Surprise-981 [link] [comments]
