Default What happened to this light?

Could you elaborate on what you mean by AC condensationg. This is the
only room and only light in the house that this happened to.

Hot, humid air in contact w/ a cold air return may be condensing on the
surface of a supply or return line and running along some path ending up
there in the light. If the unit happens to be installed in the attic
maybe the condensate drain line is plugged and the pan has overflowed.

Only two of many possibilities, but the water came from somewhere
outside the fixture...

Plumbing or roof leaks and A/C condensate are three of the most likely
sources of stray water in a residence...
