Water in light fitting - what to do?

[Finnis]

Hi,

Had a leak today in the upstairs bathroom which resulted in water dripping through the kitchen ceiling where the light is. Not sure what to do about it. If I switch the light on there's a buzzing noise which wasn't there before. Seems like the water has got into the light itself (four halogen spots on a bar). Was thinking of removing the light and letting everything dry out properly before re-fitting.

Any advice?

Cheers,

Ade
