Need help from Electrician or someone knowledgeable in that field

[LifeisaGarden]

I just got home. When I walked into my bedroom I noticed the boob light over my sitting area was hanging down from the ceiling by it's wires. It's obviously not supposed to be that way.

I'm not getting any electricity in there either. I checked the breaker box and the switch was tripped.

I really am not sure if I should leave the switch off or try to flip it back on and see what happens.

I suppose the light falling out of the ceiling caused it to trip.

Can someone tell me what to do until Dan gets home so he can deal with it?

Should I just leave the switch alone?

Make a sammich.

Sorry, Shrimp was on the menu for tonight.

are the wires still connected? any bare wires?

[ladypanther]

If you need what else that breaker runs....can you just turn the power off to that light...then flip the breaker? If that light did not have power when it tripped, however, would leave it alone.

Why do you think it fell?

Leave it be.

yeah, they all look like they're connected. There's a bare copper wire but I'm assuming that one is supposed to be bare because the whole thing is exposed. There are no other bare wires, that I can see anyway.

It knocked out the power to my whole master bedroom including my master closet & the sitting area. There's no power to any light or the ceiling fan or any of the outlets.

I suppose the light fell due to Fort Bragg shooting off their tunderboomers. It tends to knock the pictures off the walls sometimes.

boob light? do they sell those at the porn store?

If the breaker is currently off, then turn the switch off for the exposed light, effectively killing any juice running to that light. You'll be fine to flip the breaker back after that.

That wire is always exposed. You can disregard it.

Did it bust the light bulb?

Did that.

No.

[dimbee]

OK. Then I'm not sure what caused the breaker to flip, unless the tug of the light falling pulled some wire loose causing an arc. I would have Dan go slow and steady about it
