lost voltage across a 6amp rocker switch?
I was verifying a supply for an existing outside light to be replaced using a volt stick. I had previously confirmed supply to cable from kitchen switch, but no juice apparently today. I opened up the switch and tested voltage on incoming side, confirmed 240v, outgoing, only 70v!
I bypassed the switch to give permanent supply to outside light (on sensor), and switch to be replaced in due course when kitchen refurb finished but thought I would share it as I haven't lost voltage like that across such a simple device before.
Voltz.
