Continuity Tester Flashlights

Continuity Tester Flashlight FAQ

What is a Fulton continuity tester flashlight?

A Fulton continuity tester flashlight combines a heavy-duty flashlight with a built-in electrical continuity tester. The Fulton 905 and 906 use test leads to check electrical circuits while also providing a conventional flashlight for general illumination.

What is the difference between the Fulton 905 and 906?

The Fulton 905 and 906 are both heavy-duty continuity tester flashlights with the same basic testing function. The Fulton 906 adds a built-in magnet for hands-free positioning or convenient attachment to metal surfaces.

How does the continuity tester on a Fulton 905 or 906 work?

The flashlight includes test leads with alligator clips. When the leads are connected to a continuous DC circuit, the tester indicates continuity by illuminating the bulb. When the circuit is not continuous, the tester does not illuminate the bulb.

What batteries do Fulton 905 and 906 flashlights use?

Both the Fulton 905 and 906 use two D-cell batteries. The batteries power the flashlight as well as the built-in continuity testing function.

What bulb does the Fulton 905 or 906 use?

The Fulton 905 and 906 use a PR6 bulb. Replacement parts and bulbs are available for Fulton flashlights to help keep these lights in service.

Can a Fulton 905 or 906 test a live electrical circuit?

No. The Fulton 905 and 906 are designed for continuity testing and are marked “NOT FOR LIVE CIRCUITS.” Do not use the continuity tester on an energized circuit.

Is there an LED version of the 905 or 906 continuity tester?

No.  An LED behaves differently than an incandescent bulb, so they are not used in these continuity tester models.
