[QUOTE="Mos Eisley, post: 3586311, member: 7235"] Lights can be on the same circuit as outlets. In my house they are distributed pretty willy nilly. Putting lights with outlets makes sense to distribute the load. Lights draw very little compared to outlets. I recently had an outlet in the living room go bad and it took out a fridge, basement stairway lights, and dining room outlets & light. It stinks for finding which outlet/light receptacle that might be bad but it makes sense. Lights dimming with vacuum usage is totally normal as vacuums are a large current draw. As far as your hot water heater problem...If you're comfortable, changing the breaker and checking the circuit and any other thing that might be on it, would be cheaper than swapping the hot water heater.
