Hi Krell_man that's not good to hear, your receptacle must be on the same line as your switch for the lights and you are getting either a short or power serge. I would suggest you have an electrician come in and look at feeding a new line, this way you have a designated line. Shouldn't really cost that much and look at it as an upgrade, the benefits that you will receive will be well worth it along with protecting your gear. What is happening is not good for your electronics and can damage them.

Ozzy that is very interesting, I have not tried one before.
