How to Use a Test Light
A test light is used to check the continuity of an electrical circuit. A test
light utilizes a bulb held in a probe attached to a sharply pointed rod. This design
is optimal for piercing a
wire, testing a
fuse or checking the surface charge of
a battery. A test light is easy to use, first connect the ground clip to a ground
source, the battery negative terminal is best but any clean grounded metal source
will work. Then connect the pointed end of the test light to desired circuit to
be tested. If power is present the bulb will illuminate informing you the circuit
is operating properly.
