Are you saying that you already had your light hooked up as Rob and I described, and you still observed the behavior you described in your original post? Or are you just expressing incredulity that my advice was correct?
Take a look at the
Robot Electrical Blueprint. Near the lower left corner it shows how your light and its relay need to be connected electrically. (It omits the ground wire from the relay back to the distribution panel. If you need help with that let us know.) You'll note that the light is isolated from the rest of the electrical system by the relay. (That is, the light wires are not connected to the same terminals as any other wires.)
If your light is connected as shown, then you have a bad spike relay.
