Finding a runaway beacon.

I usually combine beacons with power switches to make sure they don't waste power when machines underneath them aren't working.

However, my power usage statistics screen shows that there's one beacon that's always on, even if all machines are off.

Couldn't instantly find this beacon though, because the base is huge.

Hints/ideas are welcome><

Dichotomy.

Unpower half of your base. Check. You now know in which half the beacon is. Rince and repeat with that half.
