I have a ridiculous problem with a circuit in my house. A
simple circuit
tester, when hooked to the black and white wires going to a
switch shows
that I have 120V (based on an LED on the tester, not an
exact
measurement). The black and whites coming out of the ceiling
show the same
result. When I flip the switch on and off, the circuit
tester at the
ceiling goes on and off. All is good, right?

However, when I hook up a simple bulb fixture to the
ceiling, it doe not
turn on. Tried different bulbs, fixtures. Wall is hot,
switch is working,
ceiling is hot, but no lights.

This fixture was functional and then started flickering
intermittently and
then ceased to function. There was a leak from the roof in
the floor above
that was fixed around that time, but not sure if it is
related. . . Any
ideas?
