Unless you have additional information to support these comments, they're just guesses. As another commentor has said, it could be 3 days, 3 months or 3 years...or never.
Separately, what does "started up the blue light" mean for us non-Americans*? Is this similar to "given the green light" (as in, permission has been granted to proceed with a plan)? Genuinely interested.
*I'm presuming you're based around the East Coast US because of the Fahrenheit use and Time Zone comparison (your laptop clock and forum time). Apologies if i've mis-located and/or got the Nationality wrong - i'm hedging the numbers.
Not East Coast.

"The Blue Light Special was a sale promotion within the store for a short period within store hours only. It was advertised using a rotating blue light, in the same style a police car used, and was announced over the store public address system with the phrase "attention Kmart shoppers",
a phrase which became a pop culture reference.
[44] The original concept for the Blue Light Special was a limited-time offer to sell slower-moving merchandise.
[45] The sale was first introduced in 1965
[46] and was retired in 1991.
[47]"
The late, somewhat lamented, K-Mart. And, it's blue light specials. Even non-Americans have heard the phrase.
As for guesses: Just because it's a guess, does not make it a bad bet.
