In trying to add a light to the outside circuit I turned off the breaker that powered the existing light then attempted to simply tap into that circuit - The trouble is that there are 3 switches in the box and there are at least 2 switches on the house that control those lights and SOMEHOW the circuit is still energized with the breaker off... I normally do simple electric work myself but may call a pro for this one ...
