that circuit is shared by AC, Heating, Garage or something
Don't think so: all those things, and everything else in the house, were continuing to function normally while the lamp was out of whack.
or you just had a power spike and that was the first circuit it hit and it tripped the breaker
That sounds more like it. Before this happened we did have an electrical storm go thru the area, and at one point some of the lights flickered. I didn't think it was an actual power interruption cuz the computer and all the other electronics never noticed it when it happened. So it was just dumb luck that it hit that one breaker?
