Another bad "brand new bulb"
Just after I had blogged about this in the electrical category the other day, it actually happened again. Luckily this was not the only job the customer wanted me to do. I would have hated to charge a customer just to replace a light bulb. Whenever a light fixture stops working, the first thing you do is change the light bulb. When the light still doesn't work, try another bulb before thinking it's the light fixture. Light fixtures rarely stop working. If it's not the bulb, it may be the light socket, or more commonly the switch. Sometimes, the connections behind the light fixture where the wires are "wire nutted" come undone do to improper use of wire nuts IE: too large or too small for the size of wire. Sometimes the wires are not properly twisted.
