OH, you're using a light. They indicate voltage, not current. Because
test lights are not connected in series with the current you would
like to measure.

A light isn't connected in series, only if you don't connect it in
series. Connected in series, it glows only when sufficient current is
flowing.

Pleaes either learn enough to get your terminology
right, or give more details in the first place, like the fact that you
are using a neon test light.

Although digital meters can sometimes show misleading induced
voltages, you can learn to allow for that.

It would be useful if a meter had a "load" button. When pressed it
would connect a small load across the terminals (when measuring
voltage). A drop in the reading would indicate induced voltage.
