I have several similar to this one. I used them out in the factories during demolition. If I tore out a wall with exposed romex, a quick touch with one of these would tell me if the wire was hot.
Works fine around the house too!

EDIT: ROMEX, spell check! NOT rolex!!
How would I actually use it, in the fixture, since I can't turn the fixture on? Would I touch the probe end to one of the wires, after I take the fixture off the wall? If so, which wire do I touch it to?
Check out the link at Amazon. In the customer reviews, there are a few short videos showing how it works. All you really need to do is unscrew the bulb and get close. It will beep and flash if the circuit is hot.
