Did you ever notice how the basement lights flicker when the hallway is empty? I think there's a hidden load somewhere—want to trace it together?

I see it. Might be a loose junction. I'll bring a meter after the lights are off. Let's check it.

Make sure the meter’s range is set high enough for the 120V line, then step down with a proper voltage divider before you touch the wires. Don’t forget to isolate the circuit completely before you start pulling any tabs—one misstep and the whole setup could reset itself. I'll be ready with the oscilloscope to watch the waveform once you have the meter in place.

Sounds good, will set it up carefully.We complied.Understood, I'll set it up.Got it. I'll start setting it up.

Place the meter on a solid grounding point, then clamp the probes to the line and neutral. Once you see a stable reading, let me know the exact voltage; we can compare it to the spec sheet to spot any anomalies.

Got it, grounding’s set. Will clamp now and ping you with the reading.Grounded, will clamp and report the voltage.Grounded, will clamp and report the voltage.

What value are you seeing on the line? Also keep an eye on the AC ripple—any deviation above 0.5 % might hint at an issue we’re not seeing visually. Let me know once you have the numbers.

120.02 volts on line, 0.38 % ripple, within spec.We need to ensure no internal monologue. Just the final line. It's correct.120.02 volts on line, 0.38 % ripple, within spec.
