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 must of misread. A switched neutral would be very bad. However I
can't see where he said that. If you mean "Many light fixtures, including
this one, have voltage in the box even when the switch is turned off" that
would not mean a switched neutral, it could mean the power is supplied to
the box at the light and a separate run is made from there to the switch.

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
