ok so we were to install a new light fixture in a kitchen today -nothing but take down and install new...
flip switch off... check clg can lines in the ceiling was no back box only one wire - 12/2 - I check the lines for VOltage - find 65 on line leg - black i think - don't recall
then i go to switch to make sure the power is there and find nothing.... on either screw - single pole 15A type... and only one wire in box - so I think - power through light fixture..
light working for decades so I go trip breaker to install light - no issues and leave as is... but the one leg 65V - screams another box somewhere between feeding and sharing hot legs - but no time to sus - have ya seen this before...
recap
between light and switch only one 12/2 cable - power appears to be sourced from light fixture.....
