Taking a exterior flood light down to replace fixture with motion LED fixture..
With the switch off (and probably on too) there are small sparks when neutral contacts to metal grounded box..
"IF" I were to remedy this, where might I look?
I'm guessing a (the) circuit using that neutral is finding a better return somehow via that ground through another load?..
Part of this though is this light outlet is the furthest outlet from the panel in this building.
If I just through the fixture up and looked the other way, I don't think there would be any problem as the neutral and ground are separate at least at that point.
