Short circuit, bubba. Where the wires of the fixture attach to the wires of the house. One of them is touching what it shouldn't, sort of like Michael Jackson.

This is how Australians deal with their huge spiders.

I never know how this happens. It doesn't take much more than Kindergarten smarts to hook black to black, white to white, and bare/green to bare/green.

Now, if the house was wired by a clown you might have to use a multimeter.

That orange and purple arc suggests higher voltage than 120. Unless there is a transformer in that thing, not sure how they managed it.

Could be a 240v country. Or perhaps someone didn't know what they were doing and somehow crossed two breakers in the panel, creating a 240v circuit and melted the connections.

Easy to do if you're retarded and you have a multi-wire branch circuit. Even then, you're never going to have more than 240V in a US home unless you're trying to jury-rig your own solar and doing it insanely wrong.

worn out or missing insulation. Wires touching. ""

bet he bought a dual gang breaker since he'd have 14/3 instead of 14/2 and got red and black going to a breaker and somehow grounded. nuetral makes breaks connection , so that should be a grounding issue and easily the motor of the fan could be worthless and grounded out so back feeding hot and making big zap zaps

Those most be one of those fancy new ceiling fan/ark welder combo I've been hearing so much about. I want to get one but I'm going to wait until they do MIG.

Very cool, OP
