I almost always to all my own electrical, including upgrading and running new circuits. I have moved into a new office where the breaker panel is in the hallway across from my office. I have been given full permission to do electrical mods in my unit. Question is this. I do not wish to do the flip off breakers and see what runs my unit due to other units having computers and such. I know that you can get a breaker id unit. I have used them, but they are generally only good for plugs and light sockets. I have florescent light fixtures and wall switches that I would like to trace. How can I trace a light switch or a florescent light fixture without shutting off random breakers. Is there a device for this? Any help would be appreciated.

Get one of these http://www.lowes.com/pd_6170-12704-61-532_4294753812__?productId=3129215&Ns=p_product_avg_rating|1 But problem is, since this is a commercial structure, your hands are tied for doing any type of electrical work, regardless what someone in the office told you.

How is that going to help find the fluorescent lighting circuits?

I would not expect the lighting to be mixed with receptacles in a commercial building.

Contact a licensed contractor since this is a commercial structure.

If he wants to find light circuits as well as power circuits,
he can just unscrew the switchs pull them out a little,
and then he can access the wires to trace.
EASY AS !!!
