Well, I was very close. Except it wasn’t the basement, it was the attic. And he didn’t manipulate gas valves, he just turned on the gaslights in the attic which caused the lights in her part of the house to dim. Of course, to turn on a gas light you must turn a valve. So, I had the gist of it. I’m pleading for a better critique from you. I am not going to watch the movie again. Saw it long long ago.

I know I'm nitpicking... but the main point was that he was not intentionally adjusting the lights in order to harm his wife. It was a byproduct of his searching the attack for lost jewels, and after she mentioned the dimming lights he then leveraged that to intentionally mess with her mind in other ways.
