There's a light switch just outside to turn on the light that's inside my bedroom closet. When the light switch is flipped on, the light in the closet turns on, but all of the other power in the room is cut. If the TV is on, it loses power and turns off. The main room lighting that is on it's own switch all the way across the room loses power and the light shuts off. Nothing works electrically speaking until the closet light switch is turned off, in which case power is restored to the TV and the main room ceiling mounted light.
What's the issue?

It seems to me that there is not enough power in this circuit to allow all the lights to be turned on at once. You may have to upgrade the line.
Hi,
I would call an electrician to check the circuit, since it is drawing too much power away from other appliances. The breaker will always turn off when there is any kind of circuit problem.
If you call an electrician, he or she will be able to give you an estimate and then you will know for sure what is wrong.
Have a blessed day,

I would definitely never use that closet light again until it's all sorted with an electrician. There might actually be an exposed wire or something that may cause a fire. I would have that looked at immediately
