Get yourself a real mult-meter to test the actual wiring before the
fixture. Don't use inductive probes or gimmicky light bulb testers.
Use a real voltmeter to test the *wiring* first, then you can work on
diagnosing a bad fixture.

What will that accomplish? A real voltmeter has a very high impedance and
will give the same result.


No, Corky. A voltmeter will show the gentleman exactly what voltage
potential exists at the wiring *before* the fixture. Those stupid $6
LED testers will light up with the smallest amount of induced voltage,
telling him nothing.
