THE CEILING DRIP
A kitchen light dripping for weeks becomes the center of a mystery as a resident questions maintenance's claim of condensation and searches for the real cause.
Condensation or something else?

A kitchen light has been dripping for weeks, and the only thing keeping the floor dry is a bucket parked right underneath it.
The poster says, "My light has been leaking like this for weeks," and maintenance has given the explanation: condensation. But that answer hasn't exactly settled the matter. The poster came asking bluntly, "Maintenance says its condensation.. Is this true?"
The problem is not just the leak itself. It's where it lands. The fixture is in the kitchen, and the water has been bad enough that the poster has had to keep a bucket in the middle of the room. "I don't want a bucket in the middle of my kitchen any more," they wrote.
That leaves the whole thing hanging on a simple question: can a ceiling light really be leaking water for weeks and still just be condensation, or is something else going on?
The post doesn't give a long history or a dramatic breakdown. Just the steady reality of it: a light dripping in the kitchen, maintenance calling it condensation, and the poster stuck living around a bucket. The fixture has been leaking long enough that this has stopped feeling temporary.
The ask is direct, is maintenance right, and what can be done to stop the water from coming down in the first place?
