[QUOTE="Eric1066, post: 555104, member: 35708"] It's the second light of four... They are connected in a standard fashion, from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4. If there was a loose connection at 2, then 3 and 4 wouldn't work. But also, wouldn't the weird V reading affect the other 2 working lights in some way? It doesn't, they seem to be working fine. #2 isn't working because the fitting itself isn't working. I've taken it apart and found the problem, fixing that. But once that's done, I'm guessing it will also work fine. I'm just freaked by the strange V readings. If it's working should I just forget about it? Or is there something more sinister? I'm going to swap out the dimmer just to eliminate it as an issue. If the reading is still going up and down but everything works, could be my meter??? The bulbs are standard screw bulbs. E27. They are 'dimmable' LED bulbs. [/QUOTE]
