Very clever Mike. Thanks for sharing! It would be nice to add audio feedback in cases where you can’t see the light bulbs at the ends of the circuit because you are physically separated while wiggling wires in between the fuse and the load. I’ve used an Ohm meter with an audio tone for this purpose but you would normally not use it if the circuit is energized. If there was a voltmeter with an audio tone that changes in proportion to the voltage it was measuring, that would work great! A quick check on Amazon did not turn up anything. Maybe someone out there has heard of one?
Worth a try! I looked for an voltmeter with an audio readout but didn't find one. It seems like a great product idea that should be out there. After all, NCVT devices have audio feedback. Why not have one for reading DC voltages?

Maybe one of these in parallel with the test bulb would work. Thoughts?
