Ah, the learning experience, you won't do it that way again will you?
I had similar experiences wiring up a standard everyday houselight...of course I was only 10 at the time and didn't know better....somehow I wired it wrong and there was a pop fizz, and a weird feeling in my right arm......
then the circuit breaker popped... (thank God..)
lol, live and learn..
