Thought i would share this, its an important rule in the electrical field and simple to remember and follow.
If you ever work on your lines hot, i always suggest turning off power but if that isnt possible, think of your 120v neutral as the captain of the boat.
He goes on first, and comes off last
meaning
always connect it first,
then hook up your hot last to install
And your hot comes off first
and your neutral last to uninstall
Reason being that many appliances and equipment will fry if you drop your neutral. Learned this the hard way back in the day.
Now go play with some power and lite it up
