I’m always having to check on writing in the backyard, either for the lights out there, or for the various parts of my outdoor LGB trains. So I bought the NJTY Dual Range Electrical Tester. It has an Integrated LED flashlight and for some reason a red Laser pointer light. What I really like about is their “Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) detection”, meaning you just need run the device over a wire to know if there’s power going through it or not. Via a button on the side choose “High” sensitivity for a range of 12 V-1000 V or “Low” sensitivity for 48 V-1000 V. It’s powered by two AAA batteries which were included and there’s an automatic shutdown after five minutes of inactivity. Best of all is the price. It was around $7.75 as on 3/28/25 on Amazon.
