Outside light problem
I have an outside light on the corner of the house. 2 days ago one bulb stopped working, I thought burned out bulb.
Today both bulbs came on.
Tonight neither side of the light works. I tested to see if power was at the light with a Sears AC voltage testing light. There was power to both sides of the light. I switched the light switch off; there was still power indicated at both sides of the light.
I flipped the ckt breaker off and no power to the switch or the light.
The light switch is one that the toggle has a light.

The light needs replacement-----I don't question that.
I changed out the single pole switch and the circuit is good; no pwr at the light with the switch
off. The light is half broke and needs replacement. Also, probable bad connections,
as it switched on for a moment on one side when I checked the circuit.
