ABSTRACT:
An electrical tester adaptable for indicating the electrical condition of a conventional female electrical outlet or for indicating the electrical energization of two remote contact locations. The tester is in the form of a housing enclosing a test lamp, with a pair of male electrical prongs each connected to a different terminal of the lamp, and with the prongs fixed to a slidable block so as to be retractable into the housing when not in use. A metal test rod is slidably mounted in the housing so as to project beyond the housing in a test position, and a flexible test lead is fitted in a recess in the housing closed by a slidable door. The test rod and the test lead are each connected to a different lamp terminal.
