I have low voltage (~82v) on a light switch in the kitchen. I'm

Thanks.


Keep in mind that if you are not reading from hot to neutral with power
to the switch and you are using a new digital type meter, you may be getting
false readings due to the very high internal resistance of the meter. You
also want to make sure you are not reading voltage with the lamp in the
circuit.
