What is a switched neutral? I know that in the light fixture, there is a
white and black wire. The ground wire is attached to the metal box. The
white wire is always charged, even if the switch is turned off. There is
only one switch that controls that light. I know at least two other lights
in the house have the same set up (because I dumbly turned off only the
switch when I changed the first light in the house, and got shocked. Then I
bought the voltometer, and when I changed the second light learned that it
had charge as well, as an experiment and then turned off the power at the
breaker which I always do now).

That wiring is not unusual. It is proper to do it either way.

I think you misunderstood him. He's got a switched neutral, which is not
proper and dangerous

I was hoping somebody could help. I have installed a low voltage
fixture in my hallway and I can't seem to get it to work. The house

I would have to guess that if the transformer is buzzing, even a
little, it is getting voltage. Have you checked the bulb(s)?
