strange behavior with micro on/off switch

For about the last month my micro on/off switches will randomly turn themselves off.  I don't have any programs that use them.  I have restored their links to see if that was the problem.  The only on/off modules that have this problem are the v.43.  These switches are left continuously on since I went to wifi bulbs in those outdoor floods a year ago, but this problem has only recently started.  Has anyone else had strange behavior with micro on/off switches?

I don't get any off event in the log and the status of the light doesn't update until my query all program runs at 5am.  I can see that this particular day the bulbs lost power at 2:33am.  

I'll wakeup and the lifx devices are offline and these on/off being off is the problem.

That is a strange one. I have 2 on/off that don't exhibit that problem, I would notice. But they are v.49

Probably a bit of a long shot, but I'd suggest firing up iox and starting the event viewer and set it to level 3, as close to the problem time as practical, e.g. when going to bed. Look at that in the morning

thanks I have done that. It isn't at a specific time. I'm having home assistant monitor the wifi bulb and send me a notice when it goes offline so I can find a time, but there isn't any specific time. It is strange it is only the v.43 modules.  They are a pain to replace.  I can write an automation in Home Assistant to turn back on the micro modules when light goes unavailable, but that is a hack.  I'm wondering if some electrical noise is causing them to turn off at the switch.  Like I say, when I see the light bulb become unavailable, if I look at ISY it still says it is On until I query and then it shows off so I don't think Eisy is getting a message to log.
