I'd have to say that if you required a test in order to post to this board then I would be in deep doo doo. I'm sure no one would be upset about that but I have to say, since I found this place you all have given me a lot of great information and advice and I am not a licensed electrician.

I pretty much run our business however because the two licensed electricians who are my partners couldn't do it without me. I'm not arrogant about it just honestly stating the fact. In fact they are licensed because I got them licensed. Neither one of them are busniess savvy or computer skilled. Its a symbiotic relationship you see.

Now if I might take a stab at Bill's test question (my answer is wrong but there's a way to do everything right?):
I would get one of those sockets that has a receptacle in it...screw it into the fixture. Plug a radio into the fixture and turn it up real loud. Then go to the basement and flip the switches until the radio came on. There - see? I wouldn't even have to go to the attic to confirm...

I might be ablke to figure out the actual answer if I had time - but I gotta run - we got a kitchen remodel job from the "Remodeling Monster" company. Gotta go show 'em our stuff.

Have a great day everyone...
