I know this is not really a code question but it is some phenomenon that was bugging me. I recently hooked up a couple of three way circuits with no fixtures and was using my proximity tester to verify operation my proximity sensor always indicated power. My first impression was that i made some wiring error, I rechecked and all was Ok. So I used a DMM to check actual voltage with power on I had 120v when off I had 32v so once again I re-checked the circuit wiring it was OK. So i hooked up a temporary light it went on and off as expected, and with the bulb in when off there was no voltage, took the bulb out back to 32v. I next suspected maybe the 32v was not compatible to light this lamp so I checked it on a dimmer circuit and it provided illumination at as little as 5v. Maybe someone could straighten me out.
Thanks as always
