Yep, I didn’t wire the switch the builder did. That’s about the 3 improper wiring I’ve found in my house. I checked all the plug in sockets when I moved in and found two wired backwards. Only way to check switches take covers off and look see in wired correctly, there no circuit tester that will show that that I am aware of? |

I couldn't believe how much more light I had when I replaced my fluorescent bulbs with LEDs. It was like my whole garage lit up. I couldn't climb up on a ladder, so I talked my wife through the installation. She had to remove the ballast and change the wires that connected to the old fixture. It was quick and easy. It's been a few years, but I remember there were several different installation types. The ones I bought were called duel-end powered.

Most basic ones only show if wiring is correct; I would avoid that. Next better has a button to test if GFCI trips properly; that's a good choice. Some show the line voltage; cute but not necessary if you have a voltmeter. Electrician quality ones ($$$) can pulse the wiring to check for poor current carrying (bad connections) which can lead to fires when drawing 15 amps. |
