ABSTRACT:
A hole locator for use by installers of electrical fixtures is disclosed. The locator comprises a tapered shank of light conducting material having means at a first end to pierce a hole in a panel such as a ceiling. The tapered shank wedges in the pierced hole to hold the locator in place. A light source in the second end provides light through the length of the hole locator so the installer can easily find the locator from the opposite side of the panel. An eye or a hook in the first end provides means for pulling a wire or a pull string through the hole when the locator is withdrawn from the pierced hole.
