    Which one is hot? I'm assuming "N" is Negative but any confirmation would be helpful. It's a simple 4ft LED light for the garage.

    Neutral, right. I'm so used to automotive wiring terminology (and color coding). Thanks for the clarification

    Don’t waste your money on those cheap voltage detectors. Buy a decent multimeter that you can have a long time.

    How do you check the fuse to make sure it’s good before checking for voltage?

    Put a penny behind it, find a suitable diameter copper rod (solid preferred) or wrap tinfoil around it.:eek2::anonymous:
