This house was built in '08 and when I tested the outdoor recepts for GFI function, the power cut off as proper but the overhead kitchen light also cut off. The GFI reset is a recept in the interior hallway. My cliff notes electrical book does not seem to address permanent interior lighting fixtures on GFI circuits. Thoughts?

Yeah, I'd say it was an odd configuration, but I don't think it breaks any rules. No harm, no foul!

Thanks guys. Owner asked why I turned her light off and how I did so from outside.

Umm, don't indicator lights usually turn on when something needs indicating?[:-dev3]

You'll find all sorts of stuff on GFCI circuits, I had a friend with a high end rental house that had all the exterior receptacles, exterior lights, and both full baths running off the GFCI in the seldom used powder room. It would have been cheaper to put in several GFCI's than it was to run that circuit all over the house.
