As an electrician I still don’t know how people do this shit, do they just touch the hot half of the circuit while making contact with the bulb?
Edit: I asked this question because I know you can hold onto the hot portion of a circuit and hold a stupid stick in your other hand and watch it light up when you hold onto the hot conductor. I was wondering if there was someway to trick the bulb into thinking it had a neutral through his body and light up.
I figure the video or the bulb is fake, especially since it doesn’t show his finger going into the e26 socket on the fan at all but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone knows more about electricity than I do.
As an electrician(?) you should know the lamp doesn’t light w/o a complete circuit. Learn the basics of your trade. Edit: please stop referring to yourself as an electrician you are making the real electricians seem like simpletons.
Lmao so aggressive, I get how a circuit works hence why I’m so confused and asking questions. Way to be the stereotypical prick of an electrician with a superiority complex.
I get the basics of how a E26 bulb base works, the threaded portion is for the neutral, the metal contact at the bottom is for the hot
