[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 481005, member: 1408"] Just wondering if there was a very quick power outage on the mains in your area , some of those lights stay on permanently if you flick the power switch off / on quickly. However if you turn that circuit off for a short while that should return it to it's normal state of not actually working again . As the others have said , if done correctly, there should be a switched spur somewhere that controls that light . ( Like a light switch but also has a fuse in the front) If the light is one of the older 500 watt ones , it will cost you a fortune leaving it on . [/QUOTE]
