Hi,

I was hoping someone could tell me why my contactless volt detector
detects voltage at my light fixture when the switch is off and my
multimeter tells me there is a 1volt different b/t white and black.
Should I be concerned?

I have a 15amp circuit that comes into the switch and is then passed
onto the fixture. The fixture is probably the 9th item on the
circuit.

Thanks for any help or references on reading material to learn more!

Those modern digital meters are just too sensitive. The measurement is
almost certain to be nothing. AC induction
