Any electricians out there? I'm baffled. Here's the situation:
Aft stateroom has two DC fluorescent lights - one at the entrance to the stateroom, another overhead at the berth. Two switches control these lights (they are in series, so both lights are controlled by the switches) - one at the entryway, the other next to the berth. The light over the berth does not work. The light at the entryway does work. Bulbs (tubes) are confirmed good in both fixtures. Here's the puzzle: Concerning the berth overhead fixture - voltage with either switch in the off position reads 9.6v - voltage with either switch in the on position reads 5.8v. I've confirmed this multiple times. Questions: 1. Why some voltage, but not the full 12v at the fixture? Fixture might work if full voltage was delivered to it. 2. More confusing - why the voltage readings when the switches on/off, contrary to what would be expected - lower voltage when off, higher voltage when on? What the hey!
