Maybe an Oak Besma?
The Oak Besma is the closest thing I can find in my field guide(Peterson Field Guide to Moths of Northeastern North America), and on here. Cool find, and I know what you mean about turning off the light. I keep finding more stuff I need to ID. Nice to see someone else from Ohio.

no idea why is that ridiculous rule still there
