I posted a message recently about a florecent fixture that the owner claims is ruining the ballasts. I stopped by there today with my little 'beep-beep' tester. Power at the switch, power at the ballasts. Then I looked at the switch, it looks like a three-way switch (I hope thats the correct terminology) that would be used for controlling a fixture from two different points. This light is only controlled from one point. I am not a professional electrician, but from what I do know, that type of switch hooked up independently, will always allow power to flow. Correct me if I'm wrong, I would like to put this issue to bed. I don't use florescent fixtures in my house anyway. Would a single location switch fix this problem. I don't remember witch wire was hooked to which colored screw, I think the white nuetral was hooked to the bronze screw. help me out here. Thanks.
