Default Outdoor light comes on at random

This sounds like either a troll, or a fairly dangerous situation.

Unless it's a megger, your meter isnt as much help as your eyes. Sounds like
you have rats & some exposed actives. Follow the feed from the light back to
the first wiring intersection.

Don't wait for the house to burn down!!!

It's on a switch... It's not a light sensitive light.

I have an outdoor light at my house that receives power at random and

suggestions as to what it may be? I have a multimeter and know how to
use it.


Receives power at random? Not quite. Is this outdoor light on a
switch, or is it light sensitive?
