I learned this from the Lenhart electrician who came to troubleshoot a problem I had with that circuit frequently tripping. The problem was caused by a defective light sensor on the lamp post. Many mornings when it tuned the bulb off, an arc caused the arc-fault breaker to trip. He replaced the light sensor and the problem never happened again.
You maybe right I'll bet the GFI outlet just out side your door feeds the Lamp post
