I’ve seen this many times. Sometimes a light circuit was inadvertently wired to a GFI circuit. Sounds stupid, but I personally found this in 2 of my homes. Check all your GFI outlets, kitchen, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garage and outside including on the lanai. Don’t try to rationalize the error or the builder.. it happens. No big deal once you find it.. my last home 3 season porch outlets and family room light were wired to my outside front door GFI outlet. So everyone I used the hose to wash out mud dabblers, it get that outlet wet and I would not know it tripped until something in the house didn’t work…. Check them all out. Hope this helps someone and saves you money. Will
