Bathroom light on a gfi circuit

Debbo

I have installed a new bathroom....currently the bathroom light is just a socket with a pigtail connection which works fine (switching on/off). However when I attempt to install a proper fixture, the circuit trips when the light is switched on. The power for the light is supplied through a gfi wall plug.

What is causing the circuit to trip...when a light fixture is installed?

Have you tried just hanging a light fixture up without mounting it.
You may have trouble with one of the wires making contact when the fixture is mounted to the box.
