Yes fully agree Ian, but how else would you go about testing if it is live ?
He used an approved voltage indicator in the first instance, and that is what caused his flash bang !
In the safe isolation procedures, once you have isolated the circuit to be worked on, you need to test it to see if it is dead, if you cant use an approved voltage tester because of the risk of shorting out, and you cant use a volt stick because they arent approved, then What would be the correct procedure to test it safely ?
Lol, this has the makings of one of those great posts that will be argued about for weeks !
