Water leaking through light fixture downstairs.

No apparent leakage/pooling water anywhere else. Only dripping through the fixture. No wetness around the fixture. Any ideas on wtf is happening? I already shut the water and power off. Then the leak stopped.

Water leak in your roof probably. Water coming from somewhere and water trickling to the light.
I had a similar issue and it was a vent pipe slowly dripping water down on the fixture.

Is there a second story to your house? If so, where is the bathroom in relation to the light fixture? If single story house, do you have an attic? Need more info

Roof leaking? But any water in ceiling will find the path of least resistance to the light fixture. And any leak will result in water dripping from light fixture for a few hours until it either all leaks out or is absorbed by insulation.

You can cut the power back on. It's not what's leaking.

That was probably a good idea.

I'm guessing that it stopped when you turned the water off.
Is your hot water heater in the attic?

Funny u should say that. Same thing happened here from an air condition vent 15 min ago. No water sources anywhere near. Only about 10 drops. I attributed it to condensation.

Ah, only dripping. If it gets to the point of doing this... then you have a real problem.

water will sometimes run a long ways on top of the sheetrock before it finds an opening...sounds like yours found the hole cut out for light fixture...
last time this happened to me, the AC vent line was plugged and it was dripping onto the sheetrock...
